#SkinSpeak: What are Emollients?
Originally published as #SkinSpeak: What are Emollients? from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog.
An emollient, typically some type of oil or lipid, fills in any gaps between skin cells. It directly softens and smooths the skin’s surface, giving the complexion a plumper, healthier, more radiant appearance. In doing so, an emollient helps strengthen the outer barrier: those cracks are “mended,” so to speak, and thus prevents against the dryness, inflammation, and redness caused by external factors (heat, air conditioning, sun exposure, etc.)
Emollients are best suited for drier or mature skin types which are lacking in oil. These lipids help restore the outermost layer of skin, smoothing fine lines and/or gaps to create an occlusive, protective barrier.
Popular emollients include:

Under-the-Radar: Dermonectin Eye Cream
Originally published as Under-the-Radar: Dermonectin Eye Cream from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog.
WHAT: Azulene, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil, Dermonectin, Glycerin, Peanut Oil
WHY: Designed specially for dry skin, our nutrient and antioxidant-rich Dermonectin Eye Cream delivers intense moisture for dry skin types while fighting free radicals. It’s formulated with an emollient blend of Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E Oil, Peanut Oil, and Beeswax to lock in hydration. The skin around the eyes is left moisturized and plump as calming Azulene helps soothe delicate skin.
The star ingredient, however, is Dermonectin, a powerful peptide (Oligopeptide-5) that boasts incredible anti-aging benefits for skin. Peptides play a crucial role in helping replace depleted collagen stores and encouraging Collagen production, thereby helping you achieve a more even and youthful-looking complexion.
HOW: Apply gently around the eye day and night. Less is more with this incredibly emollient product; lightly pat a small amount along the orbital bone, focusing on the under-eyes and the outermost corners where “crow’s feet” tend to appear.
Beauty Tip : Got excess product? Use any remaining cream left on your fingertips as an evening treatment for the lip area, applying it around the outside of the lips (especially the outer corners) to help nourish skin while smoothing the look of any fine lines.
