Functions

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.

Soothing

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

Locks in moisture

Traditional Use

Naturally occurring carotenoid pigments discovered in plants and foods in the 19th century. Historically used in traditional medicine for their antioxidant properties; now incorporated into modern cosmetics for their protective and conditioning benefits.
