| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin E | A fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin, commonly used as tocopherol in skincare. | Helps neutralize free radicals from UV and pollution exposure and supports the skin's moisture barrier. |
| Cleansing oils | A general term for the oil blend that gives an oil or balm cleanser its makeup-dissolving ability. | Binds to oil-based makeup and sunscreen so it can be rinsed away without harsh stripping. |
| Rooibos extract | An extract from the rooibos (Aspalathus Linearis) plant, native to South Africa and known for its antioxidant content. | Provides antioxidant protection against environmental stressors; commonly included in skin-conditioning formulas. |
| Angelica root extract | An extract from Angelica archangelica or a related species, traditionally used in skincare. | Commonly included for its skin-conditioning and mild antioxidant properties, though with less independent clinical research than more established actives. |
