Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
A modern synthetic cosmetic humectant created by combining xylitol and glucose in the late 20th century. Developed to improve skin hydration and texture in contemporary skincare formulations with no traditional precedent.
