Emollient

Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

A synthetic ester created as a skin conditioning agent in modern cosmetics. Formulated to mimic the feel of natural skin oils while providing improved spreadability and absorption.
