About this deal
Exactly what it sounds: nice smelling stuff put into cosmetic products so that the end product also smells nice. As far as skincare goes, sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid are pretty much the same and the two names are used interchangeably.
I also find it quite interesting that it contains the same yeast extract as Shiseido Ultimune Eye Cream: sodium carboxymethyl beta-glucan.It can be produced from most vegetable oils (in oils three fatty acid molecules are attached to glycerin instead of just one like here) in a pretty simple, "green" process that is similar to soap making. As soon as I patted this eye cream all over my eye area, my skin instantly felt refreshed, smooth, and moisturized—it didn’t visibly look plumper or more awake, but it felt amazing. I liked patting it around my eye area—it felt more lightweight so it didn’t seem like it was going to run into my eyes (my skin can get pretty oily/sweaty during the night). It feels cool when you apply it, its not greasy or sticky which i found a problem with others in the past. It’s definitely a smart thing to avoid with sensitive skin (and fragrance of any type - natural is just as allergic as synthetic, if not worse!
It contains lots of nice skin conditioning ingredients and beneficial extracts plus bisabolol (nice anti-irritant), glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract helps diminish the appearance of dark under-eye circles, discoloration and age spots. It Absorbs Quickly, Contains Antioxidents And Moisturises Intensely To Improve Radiance And Soothe Tired Eyes. My eye are really dry and have dark circles so I was in need of something that could help sooth them and moisture the area . I also learned something new: look for a product that contains licorice root extract in the ingredients, if you want to address skin concerns like under-eye circles or age spots. I like the texture of this cream—it definitely feels like a cross between a gel and a cream, so I think the name describes it pretty accurately.What seems to be a true difference, though, is that the salt form is more stable, easier to formulate and cheaper so it pops up more often on the ingredient lists. Probably that’s why citric acid is usually not used as an exfoliant but more as a helper ingredient in small amounts to adjust the pH of a formulation.
