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.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Anti-Inflammatory
Boosts Collagen
Traditional Use
Used in Mediterranean folk medicine for centuries to treat wounds, scars, and inflamed skin. In traditional Italian and Greek medicine, helichrysum was valued for its anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties.
