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.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Quells irritation
Reduces redness
Traditional Use
One of the most extensively documented medicinal herbs, used for over 2,000 years in Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and European herbalism. Traditionally applied topically and in infusions for calming irritated skin, reducing inflammation, and promoting wound healing.
