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.
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Peanut oil has been used in traditional African and Asian skincare and cooking for centuries. Modern peanut glycerides are synthesized derivatives created in the 20th century as plant-derived emollients and conditioning agents for cosmetics.
