Functions

Humectant

A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.

Emollient

Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Skin Protecting

Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

Citrus depressa (bitter orange) is native to Taiwan and has been used in traditional Asian medicine for digestive and skin health. The flower water is a modern cosmetic preparation derived from this historically valued citrus species.
