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.

Soothing

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

Soothes Skin

Traditional Use

Isolated from chamomile and wormwood essential oils in the early 20th century; historically used in traditional European herbalism for inflammation. Its blue color and soothing properties made it popular in cosmetics starting in the 1950s.
