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.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Peach kernel oil has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and East Asian skincare for skin softening and anti-inflammatory benefits. Hydrogenation (20th-century process) creates a stable emollient suitable for cosmetic preservation.
