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

A modern synthetic ester of watermelon seed oil created for cosmetic use. Watermelon seeds have been traditionally used in African skincare preparations for their emollient properties.
