Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
A synthetic blend of glycerin esters developed in the 20th century as a preservative booster and emulsifier. Combines the preservative properties of caprylic and capric acids with no traditional use.
