Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Viscosity Controlling
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Developed as a synthetic emulsifier combining polyglycerin with isostearic acid. Used in skincare and cosmetic products to create stable formulations with improved sensory properties.
