Hair Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Cleansing
Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.
Boosts collagen production
Traditional Use
Developed in the late 20th century from coconut oil and collagen-derived amino acids. Created as a mild cleanser that combines coconut-based surfactants with collagen peptides marketed for anti-aging skincare.
