Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Anti-Inflammatory
Moisturizing
Locks in moisture to keep skin soft and supple throughout the day
Boosts Collagen
Traditional Use
Similar to pink grapefruit, ruby grapefruit extract entered cosmetic use in the modern era for its antioxidant properties and citrus scent, with traditional use in folk medicine for digestive and skin support.
