Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Cleansing
Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.
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 self-emulsifying variant of glyceryl ricinoleate developed for modern cosmetics. Designed to improve the incorporation of castor oil derivatives while reducing the need for additional emulsifiers in contemporary skincare products.
