Functions

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.

Astringent

Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.

Traditional Use

Used in European folk medicine for centuries as an anti-inflammatory remedy for rheumatism and fever. Historically valued for its salicylate content, which resembles aspirin's properties, and was used in medieval times as a strewing herb for its pleasant scent and purported skin-soothing benefits.
