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.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Olivine is a naturally occurring mineral used in modern skincare formulations for its mineral content and grounding properties. While not part of traditional medicine, mineral-based skincare has historical precedent in spa and bathing practices that used mineral-rich waters and stones.
