emollients

Emollients are lubricating ingredients used in skincare and cosmetic products. Emollients help creams and moisturizers to provide a smooth feel, and to revitalize dry skin by creating a protective layer that also protects against loss of moisture.

Popular emollients include mineral oils, shea butter, lanolin, cocoa butter, and plant oils.

The ancient Greek physician Galen is credited with making the first emollient of beeswax, spermaceti, almond oil, borax, and rose water.
