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.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Extract from a marine fern used in traditional coastal and island skincare practices. Modern cosmetic use is based on its high mineral and polysaccharide content for hydration and conditioning.
