Functions
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
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.
Tonic
Anti-Inflammatory
Moisturizing
Boosts Collagen
Traditional Use
Grapefruit became popular in skincare during the 20th century after its high vitamin C and antioxidant content were documented. The peel extract is a modern ingredient used to invigorate skin and provide antimicrobial properties.
