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.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Quells irritation
Locks in moisture
Accelerates skin healing
Traditional Use
Used for over 5,000 years in Egyptian, Greek, and Ayurvedic medicine as a healing plant for burns, wounds, and skin irritation; Cleopatra reportedly used aloe in her skincare regimen.
