Fig

Topical preparations of fig visibly soothe irritated skin by reducing redness, flaking, and dryness while noticeably boosting natural hydration and balancing excess oil. This gentle botanical extract suits most skin types and is most commonly found in nourishing serums. Because of its light texture, it layers easily into any existing daily skincare routine.
