Functions

Cleansing

Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.

Emulsifying

Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.

Surfactant Cleansing

Surfactant Emulsifying

Traditional Use

Modern emulsifier combining coconut oil, traditionally used in Pacific and South Asian skincare, with PEG and glycerin technologies. Developed to create lighter cosmetic formulations while maintaining the conditioning benefits of coconut derivatives.
