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.
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Traditional Use
A byproduct of coconut oil processing combined with acid treatment, developed in the early-to-mid 20th century as an economical emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetics and personal care products.
