Helps with English: "cosmetic sugar" expression ? No it is not that!

Arghh… I have one English expression in mind but I don’t remember it:

“This [a certain feature, here the possibility to use Unicode in variable names] seems just cosmetic sugar, but it really helps…”

Here I want to say that the given feature seems just some additional but minor improvement, something that is only superficially useful… there is an English expression for that, but I can’t remember it. It doesn’t seem to be “cosmetic sugar”…
