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.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
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
Gelatin has been used in skincare formulations since the 19th century, derived from collagen in animal bones and skin. Hydrolyzed gelatin was developed in the early 20th century to create smaller molecular weight peptides that could better penetrate skin and improve firmness and elasticity.
