About this deal

Your face appears shiny or greasy in specific areas (commonly the T-Zone of forehead, nose, and chin), and your skin feels dry or flaky in other areas (commonly your cheeks or jawline). It’s definitely a smart thing to avoid with sensitive skin (and fragrance of any type - natural is just as allergic as synthetic, if not worse! Exactly what it sounds: nice smelling stuff put into cosmetic products so that the end product also smells nice. Treat your complexion concerns with skin-specific formulas like brightening serums, smoothing eye creams, or hydrating mists. How would it compare to a salicylic acid body wash in terms of improving texture and clearing pores?

Currently, some countries are considering to ban it entirely (like Denmark) and the permitted use level is very low ( under 0. Together they have a broad spectrum antimicrobial effect but are permitted to be used only in rinse-off products ( under 0.Super common little helper ingredient that helps products to remain nice and stable for a longer time. And last but not least, when salt is right at the first spot of the ingredient list (and is not dissolved), the product is usually a body scrub where salt is the physical exfoliating agent. If (similar to us) you are in the weird habit of reading the label on your shower gel while taking a shower, you might have noticed that sodium chloride is almost always on the ingredient list. If you are into chemistry (if not, we understand, just skip this paragraph), the reason is that electrolytes (you know, the Na+ and Cl- ions) screen the electrostatic repulsion between the head groups of ionic surfactants and thus support the formation of long shaped micelles (instead of spherical ones) that entangle like spaghetti, and viola, a gel is formed. Presumably, the [Retinyl Palmitate] molecule is so large, it is not able to transdermally reach the necessary part of the skin for activity.

e. reducing TEWL by more than 40%) is not good as it can create a nice moist place for fungi and bacteria to grow. For example, in case of AHA or BHA exfoliants, the right pH is super-duper important, and pH adjusters like sodium hydroxide are needed. Retinyl Propionate (RP) is a less well-known, but pretty interesting member of the retinoids, aka the "royal family of skincare". Seller claimed the item was shipped on January 2nd but instead the USPS label was created on that day! If you are someone who likes to know what you put on your face then fragrance is not your best friend - there's no way to know what’s really in it.

This puts our molecule in the place of little Princess Charlotte on the family tree, quite far away from the throne. As you may guess, if something is only recommended in products that you rinse off (cleansers and shampoos), then it’s probably not the best ingredient for the skin.
