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
Mixes Oil & Water
Traditional Use
A synthetic emulsifier developed from polyglycerin and lauric acid. Created in the mid-to-late 20th century to provide mild emulsification suitable for facial cleansers and gentle skincare products.
