Functions
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.
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Foam Boosting
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Contemporary cosmetic ingredient blending coconut fatty acids with amino acids derived from rice protein. Created in the late 20th century as a natural-derived conditioning and cleansing agent.
