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.
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
Synthetic derivative combining sesame oil with polyethylene glycol, created as a modern emulsifier and skin conditioning agent that combines the historical use of sesame oil in Ayurvedic medicine with contemporary cosmetic chemistry.
