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.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
A modern synthetic ester derived from coconut oil and caprylic/capric acids, developed in the late 20th century as a lightweight emollient to replace heavier mineral oils while maintaining skin conditioning benefits.
