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
Peanut oil has traditional use in Ayurvedic medicine and Indian skincare for deep moisturization and massage. Hydrogenation stabilizes the oil for longer cosmetic shelf life while maintaining emollient properties.
