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.
Anti-Aging
Addresses signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness
Antioxidant
Protects skin from free radical damage caused by UV, pollution, and stress
Anti-Inflammatory
Traditional Use
Native to Australia, eucalyptus has been used by Aboriginal peoples for thousands of years for its antimicrobial and respiratory benefits. European colonists adopted it in the 19th century, and it became a staple in skincare and aromatherapy for its purifying and cooling properties.
