What does '23 herbs' mean in the formula, and how should I think about its effects?

The "23 herbs" refers to the number of botanical components in the formula, which are intended to work together to provide a combined soothing effect on the skin's barrier and surface condition. In cosmetics, a multi-herb approach is often used to leverage different properties from various plants, rather than relying on a single active ingredient.

It is important to understand that this is a herbal cosmetic, not a medication. Its effects are related to care, hydration, and comfort for skin that feels rough or irritated. The product does not make specific claims about the individual herbs or their percentages. As with any cosmetic containing multiple botanicals, effects can vary from person to person. If you have very sensitive skin, known allergies to plants, or are using other topical treatments, it's prudent to consult a professional, such as a pharmacist, to discuss safe use. Always follow the general precaution to avoid use on broken skin.
