Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
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.
Wound Healing
Reduces Inflammation
Traditional Use
Used in Ayurvedic and traditional Indian medicine for centuries as a warming oil with antimicrobial properties. Historically applied topically for its stimulating effects and incorporated into traditional beauty oil preparations.
