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.
Locks in moisture
Prevents moisture loss
Quells irritation
Traditional Use
Developed as a gentle emulsifier combining almond and shea butter extracts with polyglyceryl technology. Designed to incorporate the traditional skin-softening properties of both ingredients into a modern emulsifying system.
