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.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
The dried, powdered form of Laminaria Japonica kelp, used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Japanese beauty practices. Applied traditionally as a nourishing and mineral-rich ingredient for skin health.
