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 ingredient created by hydrogenating plant-derived triglycerides. Developed to provide a stable, lightweight emollient and thickening agent derived from sustainable botanical sources.
