Functions
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Traditional Use
Extracted from Citrus bergamia, this essential oil has been used since the 16th century in Italian folk medicine for skin ailments and digestive issues. It became a signature ingredient in traditional eau de cologne formulations in the 18th century.
