Julia’s notes
I love the light and refreshing feel of this easily absorbed eye cream. I often reapply it later on in the day when I’m feeling weary to give my eyes a boost. It goes on easily under or over makeup. I find it fabulous for minimising the appearance of fine lines around my eyes. Try it around your lips too if you suffer from fine lines in that area. ♥
KEY INGREDIENTS IN EYE CREAM
Hyaluronic Acid |
Hyaluronic Acid is a star ingredient for hydrating skin – it attracts water and also helps prevent water loss by forming a film on the skin. These hydrating properties help plump the skin, softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Research has shown that increased hyaluronic acid levels can lead to increased collagen production in the skin.
The hyaluronic acid I use is produced by bio-fermentation, contains no animal products and is GMO-Free. |
Marine Algae Extract
|
An extract of Cylindrotheca Fusiformis which is an oceanic marine algae. Because of the risk of pollution in the seas, the producer grows the microalgae in a purpose-built Eco facility. This not only guarantees purity of the algae but also means that the eco-balance of the oceans are not disturbed by uncontrolled harvesting.
The algae give off gases that are harvested to heat the facility and it is powered by solar panels to give a low carbon footprint. Tests have shown that Marine Algae Extract increases collagen synthesis in the skin. This helps elasticity and hydration in the skin, which improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially in eye cream. The extract is also an excellent antioxidant, protecting the skin against damage by free radicals. |
