Functions
However
the more specific functions would be:
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Anti-Aging
Targets fine lines, wrinkles, or loss of firmness. Works by boosting collagen, speeding cell turnover, or both.
Skin Protecting
Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Moisturising
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
A modern derived ingredient created from caprylic acid (found in coconut oil). Developed in the 20th century as a humectant and skin conditioning agent to replace or enhance traditional plant-based moisturizers.
