what Are Emollients & Skin Softeners?
Emollients are ingredients that soften and smooth the skin by filling in the gaps between skin cells, creating a barrier that retains moisture and improves skin flexibility.
Skin Softeners are typically emollients or moisturizers that help reduce roughness and flakiness by conditioning the skin.
These ingredients play a vital role in improving product feel, reducing irritation, and enhancing skin barrier repair. At Amjad and Zarar Nuc, we offer both natural and synthetic options to match diverse formulation goals.
