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.

Antioxidant

Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.

Moisturizing

Locks in moisture to keep skin soft and supple throughout the day

Anti-Aging

Addresses signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness

Traditional Use

Lemongrass has been used in traditional Ayurvedic, Southeast Asian, and Indian medicine for centuries as a purifying and skin-clarifying agent. Valued for its antimicrobial and astringent properties in folk skincare.
