Hydration Boost: Acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin for a plump, dewy look.

Antioxidant Protection: Chelates metal ions and scavenges free radicals, helping prevent premature aging.

Skin Barrier Support: Enhances skin resilience and reduces transepidermal water loss.

Non-Comedogenic: Low risk of clogging pores (comedogenic rating: 1).
