Functions
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Cleansing
Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Emulsifier
Anti-Aging Benefits
Mixes Oil & Water
Traditional Use
Synthesized as a gentle, biodegradable emulsifier from lauric acid and polyglycerol. Developed to replace harsh sulfate-based surfactants in cleansing products while maintaining efficacy.
