A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Wound Healing
Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.
Moisturizing
Adds or helps retain water in the skin. Could work as a humectant, emollient, or occlusive depending on the ingredient.
