Moisturizing
Moisturization is one of the most essential and foundational functions in skincare formulation. We offer a curated selection of high-performance, gentle, and naturally derived moisturizing ingredients widely used in lotions, serums, masks, facial sprays, and more. Whether for hydration, water retention, or barrier repair, our ingredients deliver proven and effective support.
Highlighted ingredients include:
Plant-based Squalane, Sodium Hyaluronate (natural origin), Pentylene Glycol (natural origin), and Lactic Acid (natural source) — all highly favored by premium skincare brands across the world.
What Makes a Good Moisturizer?
Effective moisturizers not only attract water to the skin (humectants), but also help retain moisture (occlusives) and repair the skin barrier (emollients). Our ingredients are carefully selected to support all three mechanisms in natural, safe, and high-performance formulations.
Key features of our moisturizing ingredients:
• Natural Origins: Sourced from plants or fermentation processes, ensuring safety and sustainability
• Multiple Mechanisms: Covering humectant hydration, occlusive protection, and barrier reinforcement
• Certified Options: Many ingredients are available with ECOCERT, COSMOS, or other organic certifications
• Broad Applications: Suitable for dry, sensitive, baby-care, and clean beauty formulations
