Tromethamine helps balance the pH and improve the texture of a product. It is synthetically created.
As an emulsifier, Tromethamine prevents oil and water ingredients from separating. This helps stabilize the product and elongate a product's shelf life. Tromethamine also makes a product thicker.
Tromethamine helps balance the pH level of a product. Normal pH level of skin is slightly acidic (~4.75-5.5). The acidity of our skin is maintained by our glands and skin biome. Being slightly acidic allows our skin to create an "acid mantle". This acid mantle is a thin barrier that protects our skin from bacteria and contaminants.
Oral Tromethanmine is an anti-inflammatory drug but plays the role of masking, adding fragrance, and/or balancing pH in skincare.

MY HOLYYYY GRAILLLLL, sad that the other reviews are bad because this product is SOOOO good, controls my excess sebum, get rid of my acne, and calms my redness. I am literally obsessed with it, follow me on tiktok @jelly4skincare for honest reviews!! 😽
This cream made me break out like CRAZY. After just one night of use, I woke up with tons of red, pus-filled pimples. I decided to give it a chance for a week, but the breakout only got worse. My sister also tried it and experienced the same reaction. For a product that claims to be "soothing," it had the complete opposite effect.

I’m really disappointed because for a few days this was looking like a holy grail, it made my skin look great and glowy, felt amazing to use, I haven’t used a gel moisturiser before, but I did quite like the texture. But eventually I started getting little bumps along my cheek bones, and I’ve tried to reintroduce it a couple of time since and always get the same result.
It does have a very Show more
Absolutely LOVE this moisturizer. It's perfect for combo/oily skin and for hot and humid weather. It's lightweight and sinks into the skin well without feeling sticky. It just feels like a refreshing burst of hydration. Great for soothing and calming down the skin because of the centella.
However, if your skin is on the drier side or if you're in a drier environment, this might be too light for Show more
