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.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.

Locks In Moisture
Softens & Smooths
Traditional Use
Used in traditional European and Asian medicine for centuries as a nutritive oil for skin health; walnut has been valued since ancient Roman times for both culinary and cosmetic applications, particularly for its emollient properties.
