Functions
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.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Conditions Skin
Reduces Inflammation
Wound Healing
Antioxidant Protection
Softens & Smooths
Traditional Use
Used in traditional European and Mediterranean medicine for centuries as a demulcent and anti-inflammatory agent for skin irritation, wounds, and sore throats. Documented in medieval herbals as a emollient for sensitive skin conditions.
