Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Surfactant Emulsifying
Moisturizing
Locks in moisture to keep skin soft and supple throughout the day

Mixes oil and water
Traditional Use
A modern synthetic emulsifier combining polyethylene glycol with tsubaki (camellia) oil esters and glycerides. Developed to incorporate the traditional Japanese and East Asian beauty ingredient camellia oil into stable modern cosmetic formulations.
