Functions
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
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.
Emulsifier
Mixes Oil & Water
Traditional Use
A modern synthetic emulsifier created by polyethylene glycol modification of olive oil glycerides in the mid-20th century. Developed to improve the stability and texture of cosmetic formulations while maintaining some properties associated with traditional olive oil skincare.
