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.

Emollient

Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Antioxidant

Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.

Locks in moisture

Traditional Use

Native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific, the seeds of this tree have been traditionally used by indigenous populations for skin conditioning and general wellness. The oil remains popular in traditional beauty practices throughout Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and surrounding regions.
