III/60

Function

ANTIOXIDANT: Inhibiting reactions promoted by oxygen, thus avoiding oxidation and rancidity.
SKIN CONDITIONING: Maintaining the skin in good condition.
SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT: Acting as lubricants on the skin surface providing the skin with a soft and smooth appearance.
SKIN PROTECTING: Helping to avoid harmful effects to the skin from external factors.
SURFACTANT - CLEANSING: Wetting body surfaces, emulsifying or solubilizing oils, and suspending soil (generally, such ingredients contribute to the foaming and lathering properties of cleansing products).
SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING: Helping suspensions or dispersions of liquids in a second liquid by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified.
