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.
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Lard has traditional use in skincare as an emollient across many cultures. These ingredients are modern glyceride derivatives created in the 20th century to provide lard's moisturizing benefits in more stable, lighter-textured cosmetic forms.
