Functions
Hair 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.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Hybrid synthetic emulsifier combining lanolin oil with propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol chemistry. Developed to create stable, emulsified cosmetic products while incorporating the conditioning properties of lanolin.
