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.
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Conditions Skin
Reduces Inflammation
Wound Healing
Fights Bacteria
Softens & Smooths
Traditional Use
Bergamot hydrosol has been used in Italian skincare traditions since the 16th century for its purifying and toning properties. Traditionally valued for balancing oily skin and providing a fresh, uplifting fragrance.
