Skin Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Smoothing

Improves skin elasticity

Locks in moisture

Smooths skin texture

Traditional Use

A structural protein extracted from animal tissues; first isolated scientifically in the 19th century. Used in modern skincare based on the belief it can improve skin elasticity, though topical application has limited efficacy as the protein molecule is too large to penetrate skin.
