In depth
What it does
An ester of coconut fatty acids and 2-ethylhexanol used as a lightweight emollient with good skin-feel. As an emollient ingredient, it is particularly valued for light, non-greasy emollient feel and improves spreadability of creams and serums.
Skin type guide
Best suited to normal, dry, or combination skin. Lightweight emollients work for oily skin too — richer ones are best reserved for dry and very dry skin types.
How to use it
Works best as a later step in your routine, after water-based serums and treatments. Emollients help seal in earlier layers, so their placement matters — put lighter textures on first.
