Functions

Skin Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

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

Modern synthetic ester derived from erucic acid (found in rapeseed oil), developed in the 20th century to provide emollient and conditioning properties. No traditional use; created to improve texture and skin conditioning in cosmetics.
