I have allergy-related under-eye circles. 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. It can bind huge amounts of water and it's pretty much the current IT-moisturizer. A super common multitasker ingredient that gives your skin a nice soft feel (emollient) and gives body to creams. A type of ceramide that can be found naturally in the upper layer of the skin. It does so by neutralizing the metal ions in the formula (that usually get into there from water) that would otherwise cause some not so nice changes. It is often used together with its water-loving buddy Peg-20 Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate. Also, works well to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and give skin a plump look (of course that is only temporary, but still, it's nice). It can be used to improve skin moisturization, as a solvent, to boost preservative efficacy or to influence the sensory properties of the end formula. Normal (well kind of - it's purified and deionized) water. It’s a great pick for creating a nice feeling product. Claims to reduce puffiness and dark circles, the puffiness seemed to not be as puffy as usual when I rise in AM. It also forms a protective barrier on the skin and fills in fine lines.

It helps to create low viscosity oil-in-water emulsions. About 25% of the goopy stuff between our skin cells consists of cholesterol. It’s mainly a solvent for ingredients that do not like to dissolve in oils but rather in water. BG’s main job is usually to be a solvent for the other ingredients. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product. Similar to other plant oils, it is loaded with skin-nourishing fatty acids (oleic acid - 55-86% and linoleic acid 7-35%) and contains several other skin goodies such as antioxidant vitamin E and vitamin B versions. I especially love the packaging. The typical use level of Xantha Gum is below 1%, it is usually in the 0.1-0.5% range.

As far as skincare goes, sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid are pretty much the same and the two names are used interchangeably. One of the many types of ceramides that can be found naturally in the upper layer of the skin. The TL; DR version of HA is that it's a huge polymer (big molecule from repeated subunits) found in the skin that acts as a sponge helping the skin to hold onto water, being plump and elastic. It still often shows up in the ingredient list of soaps and other cleansers. We have written way more about ceramides at ceramide 1, so click here to know more. A type of lipid that can be found naturally in the skin. Very often the skin around my eyes often feels dry. Otherwise, it's probably next to Cetearyl Alcohol to form a great emulsifier duo. Sodium hydroxide in itself is a potent skin irritant, but once it's reacted (as it is usually in skin care products, like exfoliants) it is totally harmless. Good old water, aka H2O. I wear glasses. Found in high concentrations within the skin, hyaluronic acid is responsible for the skin’s plumpness and volume. It's one of the important lipids that can be found naturally in the outer layer of the skin. This is a really good basic eye cream from CeraVe. Propanediol is a natural alternative for the often used and often bad-mouthed propylene glycol. A so-called fatty (the good, non-drying kind of) alcohol that does all kinds of things in a skincare product: it makes your skin feel smooth and nice (emollient), helps to thicken up products and also helps water and oil to blend (emulsifier). Also, it's an effective deodorant and a medium spreading emollient. It also helps to stabilize oil-water mixes (emulsions), though it does not function as an emulsifier in itself. There are also scar treatment gels out there using dimethicone as their base ingredient. I wrote a review for Loreal Age Perfect Eye Renewal which I LOVED but when I went back Walmart to get it, there was none in stock. A super commonly used thickener and emulsion stabilizer. An antistatic, hair conditioning and softening ingredient used mainly in haircare products. Feels really moisturizing. There is emerging research about Phytosphingosine that shows that it has antimicrobial and cell-communicating properties and is considered part of the skin's natural defense system. Ceramides get quite a lot of hype recently and good news: there is a reason for that. Well, the answer is probably a no, but they do work to some extent. CeraVe Eye Repair Cream [USA] ingredients explained: Aqua/Water/Eau, Niacinamide, Cetyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Propanediol, Isononyl Isononanoate, Jojoba Esters, PEG-20 … Chemically, this is definitely not true, as the two forms are almost the same, both are polymers and the subunits can be repeated in both forms as much as you like. It’s a so-called fatty alcohol, a mix of cetyl and stearyl alcohol, other two emollient fatty alcohols. Also used for scar treatment. (We also checked Prospector for sodium hyaluronate versions actually used in cosmetic products and found that the most common molecular weight was 1.5-1.8 million Da that absolutely counts as high molecular weight). Oh, and one more thing: alkaline pH inhibits enzymes that help ceramide synthesis in our skin. Depending on your hair type, it can be a bit difficult to wash out and might cause some build-up (btw, this is not true to all silicones, only the non-volatile types). The BeautyBrains blog made a fantastic article about ceramides and they have listed a couple of examples about studies showing that ceramides - especially when used in certain ratios with cholesterol and fatty acids  - do hydrate the skin and can help to repair the skin barrier.

An emollient ester with a rich and creamy but non-greasy skin feel. It's quite a multi-tasker: can be used to improve skin moisturization, as a solvent, to boost preservative efficacy or to influence the sensory properties of the end formula.
