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
A modern derivative of borage seed oil created through chemical esterification. Developed to provide the skin-soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits of traditional borage oil in a form that emulsifies more easily with water-based products.
