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 developed as a lightweight cosmetic emollient and skin conditioning agent. Created to improve product feel and provide non-occlusive hydration in skincare and color cosmetics.
