Functions
ASTRINGENT
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
FRAGRANCE
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
SKIN CONDITIONING
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
