Description
What this gel does
A 50 ml gel, formulated to hold water in the surface and slow oxidation on the surface.
Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid | Hyaluronic acid of reduced molecular weight. Used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Propanediol | Plant-derived diol. Dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Glycerin | Polyol. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Betaine | Amino acid derivative from sugar beet. Used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Butylene Glycol | Diol. Used to pull in water and hold it; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| Behenyl Alcohol | C22 fatty alcohol. Listed as binder, emulsion stabiliser, viscosity increasing agent (non-aqueous). |
| Arachidyl Alcohol | C20 fatty alcohol. Listed as viscosity increasing agent (aqueous), viscosity increasing agent (non-aqueous), emulsion stabiliser. |
| Carbomer | Cross-linked polyacrylic acid. Sets how thick it is; stops the mix separating over time. |
| Tocopherol | Vitamin E. Used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin. |
| 1,2-Hexanediol | Diol. Dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| Ethylhexylglycerin | Glyceryl ether. Keeps microbes out of the jar; reduces odour. |
| Tromethamine | Amine. Keeps the acidity steady. |
How the formula works together
Two groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Propanediol and Glycerin among others — draw water into the surface. Tocopherol slows oxidation, in the bottle and on the surface.
Antioxidants earn their place twice over: they slow oxidation in the bottle so the rest of the formula keeps, and they stay on the surface once it is applied.
How to use it
- Apply evenly to your face in the morning and evening after cleansing, toning, and applying serum.
