Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Cleansing
Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
A modern synthetic derivative of macadamia seed oil created in the late 20th century as a cosmetic emulsifier and conditioning agent. The traditional use of macadamia nuts dates back millennia in Australia, but this processed form is entirely contemporary.
