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.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Anti-Inflammatory
Moisturizing
Locks in moisture to keep skin soft and supple throughout the day
Boosts Collagen
Softens and smooths skin
Traditional Use
Grapefruit oil has been used in modern aromatherapy and skincare since the early 20th century for its cleansing and uplifting properties, though the fruit itself is relatively recent in cultivation history.
