• Anti-inflammatory: It’s calming for irritated, red, or inflamed skin (think eczema, rosacea, sensitive skin).
• Soothing and healing: Helps with skin repair, making it great for minor wounds, burns, or acne spots.
• Antioxidant: Protects skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage (pollution, UV).
• Antibacterial: Helps keep breakouts under control by reducing bacterial growth.
• Moisturizing support: Although it’s an oil, it can indirectly help the skin stay hydrated by calming inflammation that might otherwise damage the skin barrier. It’s a really gentle but potent oil, often used in small amounts (even just a few drops diluted) because it’s quite powerful.
