Functions
Fragrance
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.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Skin Protecting
Locks In Moisture
Reduces Inflammation
Shields skin from damage
Traditional Use
Orange blossom water (neroli) has been used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean skincare and perfumery since the 16th century. Traditionally valued in Arab and Italian beauty preparations for its delicate fragrance and mild skin-toning properties.
