Functions

Humectant

A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.

Emollient

Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Skin Protecting

Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.

Nourishes & Protects

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

Native to the Amazon rainforest, this oil was traditionally used by indigenous Peruvian communities for skin healing and nutritional purposes. Rediscovered in modern cosmetics in the early 2000s as a source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
