Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Used in traditional Polynesian and Pacific Island skincare and perfumery practices for its fragrant properties and potential skin-soothing benefits. The flower has been traditionally used in lei-making and ceremonial preparations.
