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.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Antimicrobial
Traditional Use
Essential oil from lemon plant parts has been used in European aromatherapy and traditional skincare since antiquity for its cleansing, uplifting, and skin-purifying properties. Historically valued for both aromatic and topical beauty applications.
