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
Developed as a modern emollient in the late 20th century, derived from coconut oil and glycerin. Designed as a lighter alternative to heavier plant oils for skincare and cosmetic formulations.
