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.
Anti-Aging
Addresses signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness
Wound Healing
Antimicrobial
Traditional Use
Orange flower water (hydrosol) has been a staple in European, Middle Eastern, and South Asian skincare since the medieval period, valued for its astringent and refreshing properties.
