Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Draws water to skin
Locks in moisture
Strengthens skin barrier
Traditional Use
Developed in the late 20th century as a mild surfactant and preservative booster derived from coconut oil; created to provide gentler cleansing than traditional synthetic surfactants.
