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.

I absolutely love this essence so much, even though I use it as my regular toner because how is my skin gonna differentiate a toner-like essence with an essence-like toner? Anyhow, I adore her viscous texture and how she hydrates my skin but I decided to stop repurchasing this essence, because it's hard for me to get this essence for an affordable price nowadays and I have found a better alternative. I'm not saying that this product is bad - it's actually amazing at hydrating, plumping and firming my skin without leaving my skin sticky, itchy or whatever, but the accessibility for me is very hard so I gotta pass on her in the future.
AnaG
My skin loves it even when sensitive. I love the experience of using it and it's 150ml so very affordable and lasts a long time.
