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
Developed as a mild emulsifier combining two lauric acid chains with polyglyceryl backbone. Created for use in gentle cleansing formulations and light moisturizers.
