Ginger root also has a special relationship to the eyes, and is considered a qi regulator – meaning it ‘moves’ energy to keep it fresh and prevent stagnation – especially useful for chronic under-eye fullness. It is this quality that lends its proven ability to guard against collagen breakdown. Watermelon, yet another herb/food therapeutic, is classified as cooling and yin-tonifying. In typical TCM herbal practice, this coolness balances out the warming, moving qualities of the ginger to create a gentle formula that harmonizes the skin. Aside from its well-known reputation as a hydrator, watermelon is highly valuable for its vitamin content and pronounced protective effects on DNA against damage from UV light and pollution. The overall effect of this combination is a balanced, careful tonification of Yin, which is what supports the suppleness and hydration of the skin. Ginger, with its more warming, moving Yang properties, provides balance that prevents fluid stagnation and maximizes a healthy glow. Herbs with an affinity for the eyes direct this formula in treating that area specifically. Licorice is a harmonizer and general tonic in Eastern tradition. The acid in licorice helps to balance the pH here, and is a stellar skin-brightener and collagen-preserver as well.

Jana Leigh –
I want to eat this, it smells SO good! LOVE it at night – I wake up perfectly dewy. I broke my last bottle and was devastated. It was my fault, dropped it on a tile floor – as long as you don’t do anything like that, you’re good. It lasts a long time really, and I use it every night.
