Clean & Clear Under Eye Brightening Stick Ingredients

Dark circles under the eye can be lightened with brightening sticks.

Many people suffer from dark circles under their eyes. This discoloration has a tendency to make us look older than we are, and is extremely visible. Allergies, heredity, lack of sleep and illness can all cause dark circles to form under the eyes. Certain makeup ingredients work to minimize dark circles and reflect light, making dark circles appear less visible. The Clean & Clear Under Eye Brightening Stick contains many of these skin lightening ingredients.

Silica

Commonly found in foods including beets, bell peppers, and brown rice, Silica is known for its ability to stimulate collagen formation, keep the skin supple and give it a youthful appearance. Silica also adds a cooling sensation when applied to the skin. Many find this cooling sensation refreshing. This cooling sensation works to keep inflammation of the skin to a minimum and reduces the appearance of unsightly dark circles and bags under the eyes.

Glycerin

Glycerin, a natural humectant, helps to restore the elasticity and moisture to the skin we lose when we age. Non-toxic and gentle to the skin, it works to moisturize without the irritation often felt with other skin care products. Glycerin has become a popular choice for nearly every beauty product.

Chondrus Crispus

Also called Irish moss or carrageen, chondrus crispus works to moisturize some of the most problematic skin disorders including psoriasis, sunburn and eczema. It also works to thicken body and hand lotions while working to protect skin from harsh elements in the environment. Chondrus crispus promotes clear skin that features a vibrant glow. With its thickening properties, this traditional Irish herbal remedy is frequently found in puddings, jellies and soups. It is also commonly used as a mild laxative, or the Irish combine it with licorice or cinnamon in tea, to create a soothing remedy.

Dimethicone Copolyol

Frequently found in cosmetics, dimethicone copolyol is used to improve the moistening characteristics of skin care products including aerosol shaving creams, lotions and shampoos. This ingredient enables them to spread smoothly and evenly. This water-soluble ingredient, derived from silicone, does not clog pores when used in skin care products.
