Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Solvent
Dissolves other ingredients so they distribute evenly in the formula. Often the invisible "base" everything else is mixed into.
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Occlusive
Creates a physical seal on skin to lock moisture in and keep irritants out. The "slugging" ingredient — barrier protection.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Extracted from sunflowers native to North America, used by indigenous peoples for skin and hair care. Modern cosmetic use became widespread in the 20th century as a lightweight, emollient carrier oil.
