Functions
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Used in traditional Chilean and European herbalism for skin regeneration and wound healing. Rosehip gained prominence in 20th-century European skincare for its vitamin C content and regenerative properties, particularly used post-surgery for scar reduction.
