Functions
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Emulsifier
Mixes Oil & Water
Traditional Use
A modern synthetic emulsifier developed in the late 20th century by combining polyglycerin with linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). Created to provide gentle emulsification and skin conditioning properties in contemporary cosmetic formulations.
