Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Anti-Aging Benefits
Reduces Inflammation
Traditional Use
Used ceremonially and medicinally in Japan for over 800 years. Recently adopted in Western skincare (21st century) for its high antioxidant content and skin-brightening properties.
