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 synthetic diester of glycerin and lauric acid (coconut-derived). Created in modern cosmetics as a gentle cleanser and emulsifier based on coconut oil traditions.
