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 synthetic ester developed for cosmetic applications. Created as a lightweight emollient that provides conditioning properties while maintaining a dry-touch feel on skin.
