Functions

Antioxidant

Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.

Anti-Aging

Targets fine lines, wrinkles, or loss of firmness. Works by boosting collagen, speeding cell turnover, or both.

Humectant

A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.

Soothing

Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.

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

Yarrow flowers were traditionally used in European folk medicine and herbalism for skin healing and inflammatory conditions. The extract has been employed in traditional cosmetics for its toning and purifying properties.
