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.
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
While Aloe barbadensis has been used for millennia, the flowers specifically have received less historical attention than the gel, though they contain beneficial compounds studied in modern cosmetics.
