Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
A modern synthetic emulsifier combining polyglycerin with palmitic acid, developed in recent decades for cosmetic use. Designed to provide stable emulsification and improve texture in skincare and color cosmetic products.
