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
Brightens Skin
Mixes Oil & Water
Traditional Use
Synthesized in the mid-20th century as a non-ionic emulsifier derived from glycerin and stearic acid. Designed to provide stable emulsification in cosmetics while being milder than traditional anionic emulsifiers.
