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
Used since at least the early 20th century in skincare for its high vitamin E, linoleic acid, and antioxidant content. Traditional cultures valued whole wheat and wheat products for skin health and healing.
