Functions

Skin 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

Synthetic ester derived from oleic acid (found in olive oil and other plant oils). Created to provide the conditioning benefits of traditional plant-based oils in a more stable, modern formulation.
