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.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Conditions Skin
Reduces Inflammation
Fights Bacteria
Softens & Smooths
Traditional Use
Sacred in Ayurvedic medicine for over 5,000 years, considered a powerful adaptogen and immune-supporting herb. Traditionally used in skincare preparations to calm inflammation and purify the complexion.
