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
A synthetic ester designed to replicate the emollient properties of babassu oil in cosmetics. Created for enhanced stability and shelf life compared to natural plant-based alternatives.
