Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
A synthetic ester derived from avocado oil, developed as a lightweight emollient alternative to heavier plant oils. Created in the late 20th century to provide avocado benefits in a more cosmetically elegant form.
