Functions
Preservative
Keeps your product from growing bacteria, mold, or yeast. Without these, that jar of cream becomes a petri dish in about a week.
Deodorant
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Protectant
soothing
moisturizing
Traditional Use
Traditional use spans European folk medicine as a nervine and digestive aid. In skincare traditions, hops extracts were used for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, particularly in preparations targeting inflamed or stressed skin.
