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.
Film Forming
Creates a physical seal on skin to lock moisture in and keep irritants out. The "slugging" ingredient — barrier protection.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
A modern cosmetic ingredient combining silicone with beeswax, a substance used for thousands of years in Egyptian, Roman, and Chinese beauty preparations for its emollient and protective properties, enhanced with 20th-century silicone technology.
