Functions
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
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.
Reduces Inflammation
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Used in traditional Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine for its warming, antimicrobial, and circulatory properties. The oil was historically applied to skin for cleansing and to improve blood flow in traditional mountain medicine practices.
