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.
Traditional Use
Used in European folk medicine for centuries as an anti-inflammatory remedy for rheumatism and fever. Historically valued for its salicylate content, which resembles aspirin's properties, and was used in medieval times as a strewing herb for its pleasant scent and purported skin-soothing benefits.
