Functions
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Tomato seed oil is a modern extract developed as a nutrient-rich botanical oil for skincare. While tomatoes have traditional use in folk remedies, the seed oil specifically was developed for cosmetic applications for its antioxidant and essential fatty acid content.
