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
A modern synthetic derivative of almond oil created by adding polyethylene glycol chains. Developed to make almond oil's benefits (traditionally used for skin conditioning) more compatible with water-based formulations.
