Functions

Emollient

Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Emulsion Stabilising

Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.

Skin Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

Sweet cherry oil has been used traditionally in European folk medicine and skincare for its emollient properties and mild astringency, though it gained prominence in modern cosmetics primarily as a luxurious carrier oil in the 20th century.
