Soothing

Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.

Traditional Use

Buckwheat has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and European folk medicine for circulation and inflammation. Historically applied topically for skin conditions, and modern skincare recognizes its antioxidant and skin-strengthening properties.
