Beyond moisturization,
delivering multifunctional performance
Beauty that feels good to the body and mind.
Emollients are ingredients that help to keep the skin moist by reducing water loss from its outer layer, the epidermis. They maintain the skin’s softness and suppleness and form semi-occlusive films providing moisturizing benefits.
Effects on Performance
Emollients affect the consistency of formulations, as well as the feel, moistness and lubrication of the skin. They help to deliver actives, solubilize UV filters and disperse pigments.
Effects on sensory impact
Different emollients have different spreading behaviors and viscosities, which in turn affect the spreadability, texture and skin feel of the emulsions they are used in.
