Functions
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Cleanser
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Soothes Skin
Traditional Use
Yarrow has been used in European traditional medicine for over 2,000 years as a healing herb for wounds and inflamed skin. Historically valued in folk skincare for its astringent and soothing properties.
