Functions

Emulsifying

Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.

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.

Emulsifier

Mixes Oil & Water

Traditional Use

A modern polyethylene glycol-modified derivative of soy sterols created in the late 20th century. Developed to harness the plant-derived benefits of soy phytosterols while improving solubility in cosmetic formulations.
