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
A synthetic ester designed to replicate the conditioning and barrier-supporting properties of plant-derived linoleic acid. Developed as a stable, non-oxidizing alternative to natural linoleic acid in skincare formulations.
