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 emulsifier developed in the late 20th century for cosmetic formulations. Created to provide stable oil-water emulsions without relying on traditional soap-based or natural emulsifiers.
