Learn more about Chamomilla Recutita Flower ExtractTromethamine 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.

not the most hydrating moisturizer i've had but the ingredients are amazing! it hasn't irritated my skin so far.
I apologize if there are any grammatical errors ahead.
This moisturizer is literally amazing. It doesn't make your face look wet upon application (like most gel moisturizers) and it isn't too watery, rather it's a thicker gel cream.
It's amazing for my combination skin because it doesn't make my t-zone oil up. It also rather has a soft finish (?) rather than a dewy finish which I prefer. Show more
