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.

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.

Astringent

Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.

Anti-Inflammatory

Boosts Collagen

Traditional Use

Lime peel powder is a dried, ground form of lime peel used in modern cosmetics, based on traditional applications of dried lime peel in Caribbean and Latin American skincare. The powder was historically used as a gentle exfoliant and brightening agent.
