Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Anti-Aging
Targets fine lines, wrinkles, or loss of firmness. Works by boosting collagen, speeding cell turnover, or both.
Energizing
Accelerates skin healing
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
ATP was discovered in 1929 as the primary energy currency in cells. Its cosmetic use emerged in the 1990s-2000s based on research suggesting it could boost skin cell energy and improve skin firmness.
