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
Fatty acid derived from erucic acid found in certain plant oils, historically used in traditional medicine for skin conditioning. Adapted for modern cosmetics as a stable, long-chain fatty acid emollient.
