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

Traditional Use
Used by Native American tribes for centuries as a powerful immune and wound-healing remedy. European herbalists adopted echinacea in the 19th century, and it became popular in skincare for its anti-inflammatory and skin-conditioning properties.
