Formulation view Water-in-oil emulsion using light caprylic/capric triglyceride and shea butter for a balance of light feel and occlusion. Plant extracts like aloe and mallow root soothe, while PCA salts boost hydration. Preserved with phenoxyethanol and sorbates. Ideal for dry or rough body skin post-shower, suitable year-round. Formulators observe the combination of light esters and heavy oils balances penetration with moisture locking.
