Functions
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.
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Conditions Skin
Softens & Smooths
Traditional Use
Tangerine fruit was traditionally consumed and applied in Asian folk medicine for skin vitality and circulation, particularly valued in Chinese and Japanese cosmetic preparations.
