Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.

Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.

Locks in moisture to keep skin soft and supple throughout the day
Wound Healing
Softens and smooths skin
Provides scent
Traditional Use
Used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years as a cooling herb with skin-conditioning properties. The root extract has been traditionally applied in Indian skincare for its calming effects and support of healthy, clear skin.
