Functions

Emollient

Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Cleansing

Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.

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 by Aztec and Mesoamerican cultures for centuries as a moisturizing and healing oil. Modern skincare adoption began in the 1990s when avocado's high vitamin E and fatty acid content was recognized for anti-aging and skin barrier repair.
