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 modern solubilizer developed in the late 20th century to incorporate mango seed oil into water-based cosmetic formulations. Created to overcome the incompatibility of natural oils with aqueous products.
