Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Cleansing
Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.
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 contemporary cosmetic ingredient developed through chemical synthesis to create a water-compatible emulsifier from safflower oil, allowing the traditional benefits of safflower to be incorporated into modern cosmetic formulas.
