Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Traditional Use
Broccoli has been cultivated since ancient Rome. The seed oil is a modern extraction used in contemporary skincare for its high vitamin K and antioxidant content, though the plant itself was not historically used in cosmetics.
