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.
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Conditions Skin
Locks In Moisture
Reduces Inflammation
Softens & Smooths
Traditional Use
Traditionally used by Andean and South American indigenous cultures as a nutritious food and folk remedy for inflammation and immune support. Modern skincare use emerged in the 21st century following phytochemical research on its antioxidant compounds.
