Functions
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
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-Aging
Addresses signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness
Anti-Inflammatory
Traditional Use
One of the most historically documented cosmetic and medicinal plants, used since ancient Egypt and Rome for skin healing, relaxation, and fragrance. Medieval and Renaissance herbals extensively documented lavender's use for burns, wounds, and various skin complaints.
