Humectant
A moisture magnet. Pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers up to the surface to keep skin plump and hydrated.
Conditions Skin
Softens & Smooths
Traditional Use
Traditional fruit used in Amazonian and Caribbean indigenous medicine for its high vitamin C content and anti-inflammatory properties. Historically consumed for immune support and skin health in tropical regions.
