Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!
Learn more about WaterPhenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.
It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.

It is a chelating agent, meaning it neutralizes metal ions that may be found in a product.

I wanted to love this but I believe citric acid is a risk for those with sensitive skin. I'm not sure why this product would contain citric acid and also gear towards sensitive skin. Overall, not a fan due to the irritation it causes. It's defiantly a nice toner otherwise for those who aren't as sensitive prone! It does clean the skin well and doesn’t leave the skin feeling dry.
Loved the smell and consistency, but I hated the design of the bottle. The lid made it hard to work with due to the consistency of the toner. My skin looked brighter after consistent use, but I ultimately decided not to repurchase due to the lid.

It is super hydrating and i use it mostly on those days i dont want to do too much.. I cleanse, use this and sunscreen👏🏾
Great for a compromised skin barrier. Feels super hydrating and occlusive -- similar to a snail mucin texture. Leaves a bit of a sticky/tacky finish, which doubles as a primer under makeup. Also makes the skin super glowy. WRP (just wish it was fragrance-free).
