Functions

Humectant

A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.

Skin Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Soothing

Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.

Anti-Inflammatory

Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.

Antioxidant

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

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

The potassium salt of glycyrrhizic acid derived from licorice root, which has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda for skin soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits. Developed in modern cosmetics to provide the benefits of licorice in a stabilized, potassium salt form.
