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 lightweight cosmetic emollient and skin conditioning agent. Formulated to provide smooth texture and hydration without heaviness in skincare products.
