What it does
A synthetic hydrogenated polyolefin polymer used as a viscosity-controlling agent and emollient, common in hydrocolloid patches, lip products, and serums. As an emollient ingredient, it is particularly valued for controls product viscosity and texture and provides smooth, non-greasy emollient feel.
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.
