Skin conditioning refers to the use of ingredients and products designed to improve the skin’s texture, appearance, and overall health by hydrating, plumper, smoothing, and protecting the skin. These ingredients enhance the skin’s barrier function, maintain moisture balance, and help restore softness and suppleness while alleviating dryness, roughness, and flakiness.
These ingredients are common in a variety of skincare products, including moisturizers, serums, toners, cleansers, sunscreens, and body care products.

Emollients (Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil), Humectants (Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin), Occlusives (Petrolatum, Beeswax), Antioxidants (Vitamin C & E, Green Tea Extract), Anti-inflammatory agents (aloe vera, chamomile, and niacinamide)
