Functions
Antimicrobial
Keeps your product from growing bacteria, mold, or yeast. Without these, that jar of cream becomes a petri dish in about a week.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Hair Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Fights acne
Causing bacteria
Neutralizes free radicals
Traditional Use
Isolated bioactive compounds from Ginkgo biloba leaves; terpenoids are the modern-identified active constituents of the plant long valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine for their health-promoting properties.
