Waterless Beauty: Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Cream
Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Cream is a fast-absorbing, waterless eye serum packed with skin-restoring organic goodness to plump and treat the delicate eye area skin. It is a small bottle with a big impact because its’ waterless formulation affords maximum absorption of the actives.
Why Waterless Beauty
Waterless Beauty refers to when a skincare product formulation does not contain water.
Water is typically the first ingredient seen on product ingredient lists, sometimes comprising more than half of the product volume. Instead of water, Waterless Beauty uses oils, ferments, butters and oil-soluble active ingredients.
There are no unnecessary fillers such as water, silicone, and alcohol in any Kat Burki product.
The KB5 Complex
Kat Burki uses their patented KB5™ formula base instead of water. Instead of actives being diluted, the pure active ingredients work at full force with KB5™.
KB5 Complex is five cold-processed extract essences. Together they create the proprietary KB5 Complex, a trademarked signature blend that replaces the water in all Kat Burki formulas. This makes highly concentrated, pure, eco-conscious formulations. And they are also remarkably effective.
Lets take a closer look at this formulation:
Key Ingredients
KB5™ Complex is made with:
ARNICA MONTANA FLOWER EXTRACT (ARNICA)
Arnica flower is a natural anti-inflammatory. It reduces puffiness without causing dryness or dehydration around the delicate eye skin. It also decreases bruising and inflammation. Arnica promotes healing and reduces swelling.
CALENDULA OFFICINALIS EXTRACT
Calendula flower promotes the regeneration of new tissue and soothes damaged skin.
CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT (GOTU KOLA)
Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) improves elasticity and reduces sagging. It boosts antioxidant activity, strengthens the skin and increases blood circulation. [1]
CHAMOMILLA RECUTITA EXTRACT (CHAMOMILE)
Chamomile is an antioxidant with potent skin-soothing action. [2] It contains Terpenoids, bisabolol and chamazulene. Chamomile Extract is excellent in a formulation with powerful actives because it contains flavones. These flavones inhibit the production of inflammation, even in deeper skin layers. [3] Meanwhile, The apigenin in Chamomile protects the skin barrier. [4].
LAVANDULA ANGUSTIFOLIA EXTRACT (LAVENDER)
Lavender Oil softens and conditions the skin. The linalyl acetate in lavender enhances cell growth.
This is combined with:
ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE (ORGANIC ALOE)
Aloe Leaf Juice has an enzyme that repairs skin cells, soothes and heals the skin. It provides nourishment to the skin as it contains Vitamins A, C, Bs, and E as well as minerals and enzymes.
This skin food heals, hydrates, and accelerates skin cell growth. It provides anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
ROSA CANINA FRUIT OIL
Organic Rosehip seed oil has amazing skin rejuvenation benefits. Rosehip Seed Oil is high in Vitamins A, C, and E. They provide nutrients, fade acne scars and promote cell turnover.
Rose Hip Seed Oil is a Vitamin C variant that is both a treatment and a hydrating ingredient. It offers the benefits of Vitamin C and Retinol serums such as lightening dark spots but without causing irritation.
Rosehip oil also has omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids to soothe and moisturize eczema or dry skin. [5]
STAY-C
Stay-C is a type of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate which is a stable form of Vitamin C. It is activated only upon absorption. Stable C is more power with less irritation than other Cs which makes it ideal for treating orbital area discoloration, photo damage and wrinkles.
NIACINAMIDE
Niacinamide is Vitamin B3. It addresses many skin issues.
Niacinamide is a very good addition to an anti-aging regimen because it promotes collagen, addresses a loss of elasticity and reduces redness. It fades acne scars and brightens the skin. [6] It reduces the inflammation of rosacea and other inflammatory skin conditions [7] It inhibits melanin production in hyperpigmentation. [8]
Niacinamide reduces the impact of environmental damage because it improves skin’s barrier and Ceramide levels [9].
DMAE
Dimethylaminoethanol or DMAE, topical DMAE firms and tightens the appearance of the skin. It has short-term and long-range skin tightening effects.
VITAMIN E
this formula contains two kinds of vitamin E: TOCOPHERYL ACETATE and TOCOPHEROL. Vitamin E softens the skin and makes it more pliable.
PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS OIL
Sweet almond oil contains vitamins A, B, D, and E and has the ability to gently lighten dark under eye circles.
PANTHENOL (VITAMIN B-5)
Panthenol is an emollient moisturizer which soothes the skin.
Panthenol is the alcohol analog of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and is a provitamin of B5.
Panthenol is believed to promote cell regeneration. It is a humectant that fosters skin healing.
ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS EXTRACT
Rosemary Extract is soothing and helps reduce puffiness and lightens dark spots.
Rosemary Extract combats dry skin. It naturally protects skin from sun damage and free radicals.
It also has natural antiseptic properties and is a gentle exfoliant for dead skin flakes.
Rosemary Extract is soothing and helps reduce puffiness and lightens dark spots. It is stimulating and promotes better blood circulation to deliver the nutrients necessary to build collagen, elastin and to encourage scar repair.
RETINOL
Retinol is a staple in skincare, Retinol is a vitamin A derivative found in many skincare creams. It refines the skin’s texture by causing rapid cell turnover and softens wrinkles.
The Experience
Lightly tap – do not rub – this rich cream around the delicate eye area skin. Despite some powerful actives such as retinol and Vitamin C, it is luxe and soothing, so skin does not feel dry, tight or irritated.
The scent of Rosehips is pleasant but present. I prefer scentless products around the orbital area, but was lulled into making this product an exception.
The cream feel luxe yet surprisingly absorbs very well into the my skin. There is no residue left on the skin. This is a benefit of the waterless KB5 base – it enables actives to do their best work and get deep into the skin.
This makes quick work of smoothing fine lines and evening the skin tone.

Eden Dews Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe Vera is well known in folk remedy. Research shows it has a powerful biochemistry[1] supporting many skincare and hair care uses, including collagen synthesis. But not all Aloe Vera products are free of unwanted additives. We like Eden Dews Aloe Vera Gel. It is a pure Aloe Vera leaf juice free of added coloring or fragrance. It is completely unscented.
Read about the benefits of Aloe Vera and our experience with Eden Dews Aloe Vera Gel.

About Aloe Vera
You may use Aloe Vera gel for minor burns, bug bites, sunburn and scrapes. Aloe Vera plants were a staple in many Grandma’s kitchens as a go-to fix for multiple skin problems.
Aloe Vera is also a versatile natural ingredient with both hair and skin benefits. It can be applied alone, or added to a DIY skin or hair treatment.
Why Eden Dews Aloe Vera Gel is Special
NO UNNECESSARY ADDITIVES
We like Eden Dews Aloe Vera Gel 100% Pure & Natural Gel because it is a pure Aloe Vera leaf juice that is free of added coloring or fragrance.
A lack of excess additives, coloring, fragrance or fillers greatly reduces the chance of skin irritation or reactions.[2]

UNSCENTED
Eden Dews Aloe Vera Gel has ZERO scent. It smells like nothing.
For those of us who desire unscented products, it is difficult to find a pure Aloe Vera product without scent. Eden Dews Aloe Vera Gel has no added fragrance. We detect none of the natural allium/onion scent found in fresh aloe vera gel straight from the leaf.
ENRICHED WITH VITAMIN E
This Aloe Vera formulation also contains Tocopheryl Acetate, a stable form of VITAMIN E used in skincare. Vitamin E is anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant. It also softens damaged skin to make it pliable.
RESIDUE-FREE ABSORPTION
There is no sticky residue to the Aloe. It contains carbomer, a safe texturizer that enables product absorption. There is practically no dry-down time.
MADE IN THE USA
Eden Dews Aloe Vera Gel is made in the USA.
It comes in a 2-ounce travel size (1, 3 or 6 pack) and a 32 ounce size bottle. We tried the travel size 3-pack.

Aloe Vera Benefits
Aloe Vera can get things done! Use it as a shaving cream, treat razor burns and bumps, and as an all around moisturizer.
Aloe Vera Benefits for Skin
Aloe Vera is a base for many clean and natural skincare products, and for good reason.
Aloe Vera feeds the skin with essential nutrients and makes skin smooth, hydrated, and soft. This skin “food” heals, hydrates, and accelerates skin cell growth.
It provides nourishment to the skin as it contains:
- Vitamins A, C, B, and E, (all anti-oxidants) folic acid, and choline
- minerals like collagen III-enhancing copper
- 8 enzymes, including Bradykinase to reduce inflammation[3]
- Amino Acids and fatty acids to hydrate the skin without oil.
Aloe Vera has an enzyme that repairs skin cells. This helps soothe and heal:
- minor burns
- scrapes
- sunburn and excess sun exposure[4]
- razor burn
- dry, flaky skin
It provides anti-inflammatory[5] and anti-bacterial properties.
Aloe Vera contributes to collagen regeneration which is helpful in wound healing. [6]
Aloe Vera Benefits for Hair
Research on Aloe Vera applications within hair care includes benefits for the scalp and the hair lengths.
SCALP BENEFITS
A healthy scalp means optimal hair growth.
Aloe Vera has an enzyme that repairs dead skin cells on the scalp to help hair grow strong. This helps treat or reduce scalp conditions impacting hair growth such as:
- dandruff
- dry scalp
- seborrheic dermatitis[7]
- psoriasis[8]
HAIR LENGTHS
The hair length and the ends lose moisture over time. Aloe Vera feeds the hair with essential nutrients and B5 and amino acids make hair smooth, hydrated, soft, and shiny!
TIP: Aloe Vera makes a great conditioner for eyebrows! Combine Aloe with a drop of Castor or Almond Oil and brush onto eyebrows with a spoolie!

The Eden Dews Experience
We like the convenient travel size bottle size and its’ easy to use dispenser top design to keep the product fresh.
- Scent: None
- Color: None, clear
- Consistency: It is a lightweight texture
- Dry-down: non-oily, absorbs well. It is not at all tacky even during dry-down.
- Residue: No chalky residue, not sticky or tacky.

RESULTS
The feel on my skin is moist and hydrated skin, not the feel of product, very natural. Notably, unlike some aloe formulations, it does not sting or burn on my sensitive skin.
I love an unscented aloe vera formulation because it absorbs better than fresh aloe and smells better than aloe vera gel fresh from the leaf!

ABOUT THIS POST

Ingredient Overview: Saccharomyces Ferment
Probiotics and Postbiotics are trending in skincare. One skincare ingredient that is gaining traction is Saccharomyces Ferment. Find out how this ingredient can level up your skincare routine, and some of our favorite products containing this yeast ferment.
What is Saccharomyces Ferment
Saccharomyces Ferment is a probiotic yeast obtained by fermentation. It is considered a postbiotic. [1]
A moisturizing, skin- soothing, nutrient rich yeast ferment that stimulates cell renewal with amino acids and peptides. It is well tolerated even by sensitive skin types.

Why is Fermentation Useful?
Fermentation increases nutrient density like a skincare ingredient “power level up”.
In Saccharomyces Ferment, it adds nutrients to a formulation as it produces amino acids and peptides. Amino acids and peptides can be easily absorbed by the skin to promote collagen synthesis and nourish our skin cells.
The beta-glucan in Saccharomyces Ferment enhances its’ ability to provide a buffer for potent actives within a formulation.
It increases oxygen flow to skin cells. The better the oxygen flow and consumption, the better vital skin components such as collagen and elastin are maintained.
Saccharomyces lysate extract is believed to neutralize toxins such as trace heavy metals and pesticides. [2]
Products We Love Containing Saccharomyces Ferment
Saccharomyces Ferment is popular in K-Beauty skincare brands. It is also seen in some Estee Lauder, Origins, and Clinique products.
Here are a few products we recommend:
HaruHaru Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream
HaruHaru Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream is a lightweight gel texture lotion with a host of stellar ingredients which together promote collagen synthesis.
Fermented ingredients such as fermented green tea and Saccharomyces Ferment both protect the skin and rejuvenate. These ferments enable better ingredient absorption as they break down ingredient molecules into smaller molecules easier for the skin to absorb.
It is a generously-sized product with 95% natural origin ingredients, including the highly effective Camellia Japonica is also known as Japanese Camellia or tsubaki. It is the authentic Japanese Camellia seen in brands like Tatcha and SK-II.

Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist
Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist can be mistaken for an overly dramatic setting spray, when it really is a skin treatment on the go.
It contains more than a dozen treating actives that are considered the “star” ingredient all on their own. These ingredients include Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, licorice root, rice germ oil, red algae ginseng, royal jelly extract, and Ziziphus Jujuba Fruit Extract, and of course, saccharomyces ferment.
If you refresh your makeup during the day with a water spray and a Beauty Blender, Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist can really up your dewy skin game while protecting its’ exposome.
This product is most often used by skincare devotees.

Summary of Saccharomyces Ferment Ingredient Overview
Saccharomyces Ferment undergoes a fermentation process that adds potency to the base ingredient. It adds nutrients to a formulation as it produces amino acids and peptides.
Ferments in general enable better ingredient absorption as they break down ingredient molecules into smaller molecules easier for the skin to absorb. It enables formulation absorption within the skin to maximize results.

Original Sleek Tightening Cream
Sagging skin changes the structure of the face. One may no longer look or feel like themselves. Original Sleek Tightening Cream contains natural ingredients demonstrated to deter sagging for firmer skin. Read about this vegan-friendly formulation and our experience with Original Sleek Tightening Cream.

Original Sleek Tightening Cream
Vegan Skin Tightening Options
Vegan-friendly options for skin-tightening are limited.
Most skin-tightening products contain animal based collagen. Plant-based collagen is less effective and requires other ingredients to get good results.
Original Sleek Tightening Cream combines:
- plant-based collagen components (proline, amino acids, and peptides)
- two deep penetrating forms of hyaluronic acid
- Plantago Lanceolata Leaf extract
This combination of ingredients makes for a powerful trifecta against skin sagging.
But what is Plantago Lanceolata Leaf?
What is Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract?
Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract is also know as narrow-leaf plantain or ribwort.
Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract is a low-growing perennial weed. It is rich in Allantoin, a powerful skin soothing agent that encourages cell growth.[1] It is a wound healing herbal agent in traditional medicine which has anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, tissue regeneration, astringent, and antioxidant, effects.[2]
How does it help skin sagging?
Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract helps maintain the structure of the support network of adipocytes in the face, such as the facial contours like a firm defined jawline and taut cheekbones.
It limits the natural loss of lipids within adipose tissue which occurs as we age. This loss of adipose tissue density makes skin deflate and then sag.
Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract supports lipids which maintain the facial contours for firm skin

The Experience
PACKAGING
We like the one-pump dispenser design to keep the product fresh. There is a small plug for the dispenser nozzle to keep the product as air tight as possible. One pump of cream is enough for throat, hands or face.

It comes in opaque packaging with an airtight dispenser nozzle
PRODUCT
- Color: white, creamy
- Consistency: It is a dense texture, it starts a bit tacky and takes a bit to dry down, but then is smooth.
- Scent: There is a slight scent upon application, dissipates upon dry down.
- Experience: Makeup or lotion does not pill on top.

Original Sleek Tightening Cream Swatch: a slightly tacky white opaque cream
RESULTS
Most tightening creams leave an opaque film on the skin, this is transparent, so can be worn without makeup on top.
It is excellent for use on hands and throat to reduce age spots, firm and hydrate.
I particularly like how it works on my hands. A regular lotion may make my hands look and feel soft, but doesn’t help signs of aging. Original Sleek Tightening Cream works great on my aged, discolored and wrinkly knuckles are now looking plump and younger.
