Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Solvent
Dissolves other ingredients so they distribute evenly in the formula. Often the invisible "base" everything else is mixed into.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
A modern hydrocarbon fraction derived from coconut oil through industrial processing. Developed as a lightweight, volatile emollient and solvent for cosmetic formulations seeking natural-origin alternatives to petroleum-derived hydrocarbons.
