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

Antioxidant Protection

Traditional Use

Cocoa butter has been used since the Aztec era as a skin moisturizer and protectant. The PEG-75 version was created in the late 20th century to improve cocoa butter's water-solubility and shelf stability in cosmetic formulations.
