Functions
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Plant sterols from rapeseed are modern cosmetic ingredients developed to mimic the skin barrier-supporting properties of cholesterol. They were incorporated into skincare formulations beginning in the late 20th century based on research into skin lipids.
