Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

Tromethamine is an aliphatic compound. An aliphatic compound is an organic compound with open-chained carbon atoms. It is synthetically created. Tromethamine is used to balance pH and improve texture.

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.

I really liked this! I'll admit I got it more for the jar than the product, but I enjoyed using this on my eyes.
It felt cooling and hydrating, and I only noticed subtle eye irritation or stinging if I used too much.
I think I did notice an improvement in my under eye lines and my under eye area felt smoother and plumper than it did before. Applying under eye concealer suddenly got so much easier!

One thing I noticed, is that the pumpkin jar is not air tight, and the cream started "shrinking" and drying out very quickly. It turned into a thicker gel that didn't spread as well.

So use it up fast or decant it into another container!
