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

Locks In Moisture

Mixes Oil & Water

Traditional Use

Soy sterols are compounds extracted from soybeans, which have been used in traditional Asian diets for their health benefits. This PEG-modified version was developed to improve its incorporation into skincare products for potential skin conditioning benefits.
