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.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Fresh horsetail juice was used in traditional European herbalism as a skin tonic and for supporting tissue repair. Valued for its mineral content, particularly silica, which was believed to strengthen skin and nails.
