About
A plant-derived ingredient that helps condition skin and support hydration.
Garlic-derived extracts contain sulfur-rich compounds that can have antimicrobial activity but also a real tendency to sting or irritate skin. The supplied oral acute-toxicity flag is less relevant to finished topical use than the practical risk of irritation and allergy, which is why the score stays moderate rather than high.
Function

- Helps attract and hold moisture in the skin
