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.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Skin Conditioning, Anti
Inflammatory, Moisturizing, Boosts Collagen
Traditional Use
Modern cosmetic extraction of grapefruit concentrates its vitamin C, flavonoids, and antioxidants, which became popular in skincare during the mid-20th century wellness movement.
