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.

Emulsifying

Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.

Viscosity Controlling

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

A synthetic ester developed in the 20th century combining glycerin, stearic acid, and acetic acid. Created as an emollient and thickening agent for modern cosmetic formulations.
