Functions

Humectant

A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.

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.

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

A naturally occurring compound found in plant seeds and grains, traditionally used in folk medicine for antioxidant properties. Used in modern cosmetics as an antioxidant and chelating agent derived primarily from rice bran and other plant sources.
