Functions
Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Emollient
Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.
Locks In Moisture
Traditional Use
Used in traditional Chilean and European herbalism for skin regeneration and wound healing. Rosehip gained prominence in 20th-century European skincare for its vitamin C content and regenerative properties, particularly used post-surgery for scar reduction.
