Conditioning

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 by the Guaraní people of South America for centuries as a sweetening agent and medicinal herb for digestive issues. In traditional medicine, stevia leaves were brewed as tea for various ailments; in modern cosmetics, the extract is valued for its antioxidant properties.
