Functions
Hair Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Refatting
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Derived from squalene, a naturally occurring compound found in shark liver oil and plant sources like olives and rice bran. Historically used in traditional Japanese and Mediterranean skincare for its skin-softening and moisture-binding properties; modern squalane is typically synthesized from plant sources.
