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
Pairs polyglycerin with fatty acids from argan oil, traditionally used by Berber and Moroccan women for centuries as a nourishing oil for skin and hair. The polyglycerin ester enhances its emulsifying and skin-conditioning properties in modern formulations.
