Traditional Use
Combines polyglycerin with fatty acids from apricot kernel oil, which has been used for centuries in traditional Persian, Turkish, and Asian skincare for its light emollient properties. The synthetic ester form was created to enhance the oil's performance as a skin conditioning agent.
