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.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Adds Fragrance
Reduces Inflammation
Wound Healing
Fights Bacteria
Traditional Use
Used in Italian folk medicine and perfumery since the 17th century for skin brightening and mood enhancement. The oil became popular in European skincare and was traditionally used to treat acne and hyperpigmentation.
