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.

Emollient

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

Skin Protecting

Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.

Nourishes & Protects

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

A synthetic blend of naturally occurring fatty acids found in coconut, palm, and other oils. Developed in the late 20th century as a lightweight emollient designed to mimic the hydrating properties of traditional plant oils.
