Functions

Antimicrobial

Keeps your product from growing bacteria, mold, or yeast. Without these, that jar of cream becomes a petri dish in about a week.

Soothing

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

Skin Conditioning

A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.

Fights Bacteria

Traditional Use

Used in traditional South American indigenous medicine and Ayurvedic practices for oral care and skin healing. The plant contains spilanthol, a compound known for numbing and anti-inflammatory properties.
