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.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Film Forming
Creates a physical seal on skin to lock moisture in and keep irritants out. The "slugging" ingredient — barrier protection.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
A modern cosmetic ingredient combining silicone with dhupa butter (Indian sal butter), a traditional emollient used in Ayurvedic skincare. The silicone-enhanced version was developed for improved cosmetic performance.
