Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Anti-Aging
Addresses signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness
Anti-Inflammatory
Traditional Use
Acai has been consumed for centuries by indigenous Amazonian peoples as a nutritious food source. Modern skincare adopted acai in the early 2000s for its high antioxidant content and skin-protective properties.
