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.
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.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) has been cultivated for centuries in Mexico and Asia, valued primarily for its fragrance. The isolated polysaccharide is a modern ingredient with contemporary skincare applications unrelated to traditional use.
