ETHYLHEXYL POLYHYDROXYSTEARATE

Safety grade: A

This is a lightweight oil derived from stearic acid (a fatty acid found in plants and animals) that has been chemically modified to make it more spreadable and skin-friendly. It mimics the skin's natural oils to provide moisture and softness.

This ingredient softens and smooths the skin by forming a protective layer that locks in moisture and prevents water loss, leaving skin feeling hydrated and comfortable.
