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.

Astringent

Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.

Traditional Use

Cypress has been used since ancient Egypt and Greece for skin care, wound healing, and as an astringent. The oil was valued in European herbal medicine for its toning properties and was incorporated into skincare preparations for oily and congested skin.
