Functions
Cleansing
Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.
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.
Traditional Use
Semi-synthetic ingredient combining octadecyl alcohol with a glucose moiety. Developed as a gentle, naturally-derived surfactant for cleansers and body care products.
