Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
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
Synthesized as a mild, plant-derived emulsifier from caprylic acid and polyglycerol. Created to provide effective emulsification in gentle cleansing products, particularly in natural and organic skincare lines.
