Designer About Molton Brown: In 1973, the original Molton Brown salon opened on South Molton Street in London, and soon clients were clamoring for appointments. Hexylene Glycol is also part a preservative blend named Lexgard® HPO, where it helps the effectiveness of current IT-preservative, phenoxyethanol. With bai ji extract, this gel moisturizes and calms your skin while algae extract helps reduce the appearance of puffy, dark circles. I guess it’s hard to create a change in those areas but this is why we should be carful with our money. It’s a solid white stuff that’s very alkaline and used in small amounts to adjust the pH of the product and make it just right.

There is, for example, an algae extract trade-named Lanablue that comes from blue-green algae (green algae is rare, less than 1% of the total macroalgae in the world) and is claimed to have retinoid like effects (i. e. reduce wrinkles, smooth skin) but without the side effects (though it seems now that the INCI name of Lanablue was changed to Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae Extract).Cookies help us customize the site for you and let us show you personalized promotions, both on and off our site. The soothing, antioxidant and skin-protecting abilities of oat are so well-established that it is an active natural ingredient covered by the FDA OTC Skin Protectant monograph in the US, meaning that colloidal oatmeal can be claimed as an active ingredient on the INCI list and Aveeno is a mass-market brand built around oat-containing products. This means that our molecule is part water- and part oil-loving, so it not only works as a thickener but also as an emulsion stabilizer.

As an added bonus, this eye gel also contains antioxidants that work to shield your skin from external aggressors.

Note: Formulations Are Updated Regularly Most Accurate Information Can Be Found On Physical Product. For example, in case of AHA or BHA exfoliants, the right pH is super-duper important, and pH adjusters like sodium hydroxide are needed.
