Functions

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.

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 synthetic emulsifier developed in the mid-to-late 20th century by combining polyglycerin with stearic acid. Created to stabilize cosmetic formulations and improve product texture in modern skincare and makeup applications.
