CHOLESTEROL

Safety grade: A

Cholesterol is a waxy, fatty substance that naturally occurs in your skin and body. In cosmetics, it's used to help moisturize and protect your skin while making products smoother and easier to apply.

Cholesterol works as a moisturizer and thickener that softens skin, helps stabilize product formulas, and reduces water loss from the skin's surface.
