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.

Anti-Aging

Addresses signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness

Antioxidant

Protects skin from free radical damage caused by UV, pollution, and stress

Anti-Inflammatory

Traditional Use

Field mint has been used in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries to cool and invigorate skin, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. The oil was valued in medieval European cosmetics for its refreshing and antiseptic properties.
