Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Conditions Skin
Softens & Smooths
Traditional Use
Sugar maple has been used by indigenous North American peoples and early colonists for medicinal and nutritional purposes. Its use in skincare is primarily modern, though the plant has historical medicinal significance.
