Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Traditional Use
A synthetic polyol ester derived from castor oil, developed in the late 20th century as a water-in-oil emulsifier. Designed to provide superior stability and sensory feel compared to earlier generation emulsifying waxes.
