Sodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Skin Conditioning

Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.

You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.

So Good
Many products out there are too strong for my sensitive skin. This one has lower concentrations of useful ingredients like mandelic acid, azelaic acid, and bakuchiol in an aloe formulation that just works for me. My acne is hormonal (chin, neck, upper body - not severe but a little painful at times) and this really seems to reduce breakouts. I use it after showering and after washing my Show more

This product contains pro- and pre-biotics which can be great for helping support an healthy skin microbiome.

Really gorgeous product with fantastic ingredients in. It’s lasted a couple of months use, once a day in the morning. So, would probably only last a month if used twice a day. I found it suitably moisturising for my combo skin during UK summer. Other gel moisturisers sometimes need another layer, but I felt this one only needed one. Expensive though, as all of Peach & Lily’s products are. But! My Show more
