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

Perfuming
Softens and smooths skin
Traditional Use
Used in medieval European herbalism and traditional medicine as a diuretic and for skin cleansing. Parsley was employed in folk remedies to address skin discoloration and was historically valued for its high chlorophyll content.
