Functions
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
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.
Traditional Use
Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda for thousands of years to improve circulation, warm the body, and treat skin conditions. Cassia bark was valued in medieval Europe as a costly spice and was incorporated into beauty preparations for its warming and skin-toning properties.
