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

Modern synthetic emulsifier developed in the mid-20th century by polyethylene glycol modification of olive oil derivatives. Created to provide stable emulsification and improved texture in cosmetic formulations where traditional olive oil alone would be unstable.
