Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Moisturizing
Locks in moisture to keep skin soft and supple throughout the day
Antimicrobial
Strengthens Barrier
Hydrates skin
Fights bacteria
Protects skin barrier
Neutralizes skin
Damaging free radicals
