Functions

Emulsion Stabilising

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

Emollient

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

Cleansing

Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

A modern ester of pumpkin seed oil developed for improved cosmetic compatibility and stability. Builds on the traditional use of pumpkin seed oil in indigenous and Ayurvedic skincare practices.
