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.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Anti-Inflammatory
Boosts Collagen
Traditional Use
Lime peel water is a hydrosol byproduct of lime peel oil extraction, used in modern cosmetics based on traditional Caribbean and Asian applications of lime water. It was historically valued as a toning and antimicrobial agent.
