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.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Brightens uneven skin tone
Traditional Use
Lavender oil has been used for over 2,500 years in traditional medicine across Egypt, Greece, and Rome for skin healing, inflammation reduction, and fragrance. It became particularly popular in European skincare and perfumery during the Renaissance and Victorian eras.
