Functions
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.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Tones Skin
Reduces Inflammation
Fights Bacteria
Tightens and tones skin
Traditional Use
Extract from Phoenician juniper, traditionally used in Mediterranean and North African skincare practices for its antimicrobial and astringent properties in folk medicine.
