Functions
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Anti-Inflammatory
Boosts Collagen
Traditional Use
Lime leaf oil has been used in traditional Southeast Asian medicine and perfumery for its aromatic and antimicrobial properties. The leaves were historically employed in folk remedies for skin infections and as a fragrance ingredient.
