Functions
Binding
Emulsion Stabilising
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
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.
Viscosity Controlling
Holds Formula Together
Stabilizes Emulsion
Adds Fragrance

Fights Bacteria
Traditional Use
Orange peel has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and European folk remedies for centuries as a skin brightener and for treating inflammation and breakouts.
