Functions

Emollient

Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

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

Developed in the late 20th century as a synthetic emulsifier combining polyethylene glycol with cocoa butter derivatives. Created to improve the texture and spreadability of cosmetic formulations while maintaining the moisturizing properties associated with cocoa butter.
