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
A modern blended triglyceride derived from oleic and linoleic fatty acids found naturally in oils like olive and safflower. Created as a lightweight, natural alternative to heavier traditional oils for skincare applications.
