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.
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
A modern emulsifier derived from traditional marula oil. Represents contemporary cosmetic chemistry adaptation of the traditional African oil, which has been used for centuries in southern Africa for skin conditioning and protection.
