Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Film Forming
Creates a physical seal on skin to lock moisture in and keep irritants out. The "slugging" ingredient — barrier protection.
Perfuming
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Used for over 2,500 years in Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and medieval cosmetics as a natural emollient, thickener, and protective agent; historically one of the primary bases for salves, creams, and lip balms.
