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
Used in traditional medicine for immune support and digestion. The essential oil has been employed in aromatherapy and perfumery since the early 20th century, though its widespread cosmetic use is primarily modern.
