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.

Cleansing

Makes oil and water mix so dirt, makeup, and sunscreen can actually be washed away. The reason your face wash foams.

Locks in moisture

Traditional Use

Synthesized by esterifying propylene glycol with coconut fatty acids. Created as a plant-derived alternative in modern cosmetics, combining synthetic propylene glycol technology with natural coconut oil components for emollient and conditioning properties.
