Our high-quality emollients are compatible with a variety of emulsions and formulations—ranging from light, fast-absorbing lotions to rich, occlusive barrier creams. They are carefully selected for their sensory profile, skin compatibility, and regulatory compliance in both rinse-off and leave-on products.
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.
Types of Emollients & Skin Softeners We Offer
1. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
A lightweight, non-greasy emollient derived from coconut oil and glycerin. It enhances spreadability, leaves a silky feel, and is widely used in facial creams, sunscreens, and serums. Known for its excellent skin compatibility and oxidation resistance.
2. Isopropyl Myristate (IPM)
A fast-absorbing emollient that reduces the greasy feel of formulations and improves skin glide. Commonly used in massage oils, creams, and topical pharmaceuticals. It also helps enhance the penetration of active ingredients.
3. Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii)
A natural fat extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, Shea Butter is rich in fatty acids and vitamins. It provides deep moisturization, restores skin elasticity, and soothes dry or inflamed skin. Ideal for lip balms, body butters, and hand creams.
4. Dimethicone (Silicone-based Emollient)
A popular silicone oil used for skin conditioning, barrier protection, and reducing water loss. It gives a smooth, non-sticky finish and helps in minimizing the appearance of fine lines. Widely used in moisturizers, primers, and baby care.
5. Lanolin & Lanolin Derivatives
Naturally derived from sheep’s wool, lanolin is a powerful emollient that mimics skin lipids. It is used in ointments, lip care, and baby products for repairing dry, cracked, or irritated skin. Available in refined grades to reduce allergenic potential.
6. Cetyl Alcohol & Stearyl Alcohol
Fatty alcohols used not just for emulsification but also for their emollient and thickening properties. They help form a stable, creamy texture and condition the skin. Common in body lotions, creams, and hair conditioners.
