Functions
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
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.
Traditional Use
Used in traditional Madagascan and Indonesian medicine as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent. The oil has been employed in folk skincare practices for its purifying properties.
