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 in the mid-20th century as an emollient and skin conditioning agent, designed to mimic natural oils while providing improved stability and texture in cosmetic formulations.
