Functions
Solvent
Dissolves other ingredients so they distribute evenly in the formula. Often the invisible "base" everything else is mixed into.
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.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Dissolves Ingredients
Antioxidant Protection
Reduces Inflammation
Wound Healing
Dissolves other ingredients
Traditional Use
Traditional oat infusion or decoction, a preparation method documented in folk skincare for delivering the soothing and conditioning properties of oat seeds.
