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.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Conditions Skin
Locks In Moisture
Wound Healing
Softens & Smooths
Traditional Use
Widely used in European herbalism and folk medicine since medieval times for wound healing, skin inflammation, and scar reduction. Applied topically in oils and salves and remained popular in natural skincare throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
