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

Traditional Use
Rapeseed oil has been used in Asia for thousands of years as a cooking and lamp oil. Hydrogenation was developed in the early 20th century to stabilize plant oils for cosmetic use, converting liquid oils into solid or semi-solid textures with extended shelf life.
