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.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Hair Conditioning
Anti-Inflammatory
Boosts Collagen
Softens and smooths skin
Softens and detangles hair
Traditional Use
The unsaponifiable fraction of lime seed oil is a modern cosmetic ingredient extracted for its concentrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds. This is a contemporary development without direct traditional use history.
