Functions
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Perfuming
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Tea seeds have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and their oil has been valued in Asian skincare traditions. Tea seed oil has been traditionally extracted and used for conditioning hair and skin in China and other East Asian cultures.
