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.

Soothing

Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.

Astringent

Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.

Conditions Skin

Wound Healing

Reduces Inflammation

Softens & Smooths

Traditional Use

Used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 2,000 years as a blood purifier and cooling tonic. Applied topically and internally to treat skin conditions, inflammation, and to promote skin clarity and complexion.
