A synergistic combination of highly effective, yet gentle phytochemicals rehabilitates mature, ageing skin around the delicate eye area. Skincetuicals Eye Balm is a rich, corrective emollient treatment is specifically formulated to counter the three prime signs of ageing - moisture loss, collagen breakdown, and free radical damage. A natural anti-inflammatory is added to reduce the appearance of under-eye puffiness, while a soothing agent derived from the chamomile plant calms irritated skin.
High levels of three effective antioxidants
• provide ultimate protection against free radicals
Soy Isoflavones
• support the production of collagen and hyaluronate
Gorgonian Extract
• relieves the appearance of under-eye puffiness
Rich, matte base
• improves the appearance of the delicate skin around the eyes
• mature / peri-menopausal skin

• irritated skin
Once or twice daily, apply Eye Balm to the area under the eyes and the brow area, avoiding eyelids.
SOY (GLYCINE SOJA) EXTRACT
• unique soy extract that isolates soy isoflavones (unlike other products that only use the protein)
• soy isoflavones are phytoestrogens that have oestrogen-like benefits, • provides antioxidant protection
Background - Research suggests that oestrogen deficiencies during and following menopause may contribute to signs of ageing in skin. Systemic and topical oestrogens have been shown to counter these effects, and to (phytoestrogens) have been shown to have oestrogen-like benefits, and to have antioxidant effects, making them ideal for use on maturing skin.
VITAMIN E (ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL)
• pure Vitamin E (not a derivative), • provides powerful antioxidant protection
Background - Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) is the body’s most important lipid (fat) soluble antioxidant, especially in cell membranes and lipoproteins. As an antioxidant, it protects other fat-soluble vitamins from
oxidative damage. It is necessary for tissue repair; it is a natural anticoagulant and promotes healing. Derivatives of Vitamin E are good moisturizers, but do not have the same effects as Vitamin E, because they are not antioxidants.
SILYMARIN
• extract of the milk thistle plant that provides powerful antioxidant protection
Background - Silymarin contains high percentages of silybin — which is thought to be its most active component. Silymarin is a strong antioxidant, and although it is not a sunscreen, it has been shown to scavenge reactive oxygen species, inhibit sunburn cells, apoptosis, and lipid peroxidation.
GORGONIAN EXTRACT
• marine-derived extract that is a natural anti-inflammatory
• reduces the appearance of under-eye puffiness associated with environmental stress and other irritants
• has been used to treat contact dermatitis
ALPHA BISABOLOL
• extract from the chamomile plant, • proven anti-inflammatory, soothing
ALOE
• healing, soothing and moisturising, • known to support the production of human fibroblast cells (involved in the production of collagen)
PETROLATUM
• shields the skin from environmental aggressors, • moisturising
LAUROYL LYSINE
• moisturizing amino acid, • small molecular size that can penetrate deep into stratum corneum
