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.
