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.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.

Traditional Use
Neem has been central to Ayurvedic and traditional Indian medicine for over 4,000 years, used for treating skin infections, acne, and various dermatological conditions. Hindu texts describe neem as a universal healer, and it remains widely used in traditional skincare across South Asia.
