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
Modern derivative of jojoba oil (traditionally used by indigenous peoples of the southwestern United States for skin healing). The oil is chemically isomerized to enhance stability and absorption while retaining the emollient properties of natural jojoba.
