Oh, and one more thing: glabridin seems to be also an antioxidant, which is just one more reason to be happy about licorice root extract on an ingredient list. Collagen in skincare and supplements has also been discussed extensively in this blogpost Collagen Supplements & Skincare: Do They Work? But if you want a neat summary, collagen in skincare, even if hydrolysed or fragmented, have molecular sizes that are too large to pass through the skin’s basement membrane to be incorporated into the dermis. Jeannette Graf, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine The main concernwith nanoparticles is that they are so tiny that they are absorbedinto the skin more than we want them (ideally sunscreen should remain on the surface of the skin). Once absorbed they might form unwanted complexes with proteins and they might promote the formation of evil free radicals. But do not panic, these are concerns under investigation. A 2009 review article about the safety of nanoparticles summarizes this, "to date, in-vivo and in-vitro studies have not demonstrated percutaneous penetration of nanosized particles in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreens". The English translation is, so far it looks like sunscreenswith nanoparticlesdo stay on the surface of the skin where they should be. Before Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm went viral on TikTok, it was featured frequently in K-dramas and music videos by international artistes. Korean actress Kim Go Eun is the face of Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm. The actress was seen using the balm frequently in her dramas, The King: Eternal Monarch in 2020 and and Yumi’s Cells in 2021. More recently in 2022, in Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm enjoyed significant screen time.

Nr. 2 magic property is that licorice is a potent anti-inflammatory. Glabridin has also some soothing properties but the main active anti-inflammatory component is glycyrrhizin.

In fact, sunscreen should be a staple in your everyday skincare routine, even in the dead of winter.

It did not improve any fine lines; and was too waxy and greasy on my skin.

It is an oil-soluble, slightly yellowish powder that is not absorbed into the skin too much. This is good news for a sunscreen agent as it needs to be on the surface of the skin to do its job properly. Regarding Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine side effects, we have good news here as well: it has a great safety profile and unlike a couple of other chemical sunscreens, Trinosorb S (and M) does not showestrogenic activity. Compared to the Extin C Balm and Aqua Balm, I found the Eye Balm’s scent more artificially sweet. Even though all four products contain licorice extract, I smelled that ingredient most strongly on this product. The Eye Balm is more translucent than the others, like a lip balm. It applies smoothly on skin much like the Aqua Balm, but with a slightly oilier finish, perhaps due to the extra nourishing care it offers to sensitive under-eye skin. This will mainly depend on your exposure to the sun or the activity you are participating in. Dr. Graf recommends reapplying every 60 to 80 minutes when the formula is water resistant. However, if you’re planning on being in and around water, you should reapply more frequently and pair it with protective clothing, she adds. It’s important to remember to reapply after getting out of the water and towel drying. Staying consistent with reapplying will lead to the best results.Besides the star ingredients mentioned by Kahi, the balm contains several other plant oils and shea butter. These make Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm a very moisturising and nourishing balm, especially for dry skin. The glow that has won over fans, can also be attributed to these oils too.
