Functions
Binding
Emulsion Stabilising
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
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.
Viscosity Controlling
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Modern synthetic esters developed in the 20th century by combining essential fatty acids with glycerin. Created to provide the skin-conditioning and emollient benefits of natural oils in a more stable, lighter formulation.
