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.
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine as a nourishing and purifying ingredient. The seeds and leaves were traditionally used to treat skin conditions and improve overall skin health due to their high protein and antioxidant content.
