Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Tonic
Brightens uneven skin tone
Controls excess oil
Locks in moisture
Minimizes pores
Traditional Use
Used in traditional medicine in Australia and parts of Asia for its astringent properties. The bark and leaves have been employed in folk remedies for skin tightening and wound healing.
