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 combining erucic acid and oleic acid, developed in the 20th century. Designed as a lightweight emollient and conditioning agent for cosmetic formulations.
