Functions
Emulsion Stabilising

Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
A modern synthetic humectant developed for cosmetic formulations in the 20th century. Created to improve hydration and moisture retention in skincare products.
