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.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Brightens uneven skin tone
Traditional Use
One of the oldest known cosmetic and medicinal substances, used for at least 5,000 years in ancient Egypt, Arabia, and the Mediterranean for wound healing, skin rejuvenation, and preservation. Cleopatra valued it as a skincare ingredient and incense.
