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 20th century combining PEG with almond oil glycerides. Almond oil itself has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and skincare across Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian cultures for skin conditioning.
