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.

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 modern bio-based emulsifier developed by reacting polyglycerin with sweet almond oil-derived fatty acids. Created to provide natural-seeming formulations while maintaining the stability of synthetic emulsifiers.
