Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

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.

Absolutely love this cleanser.

It doesn’t lather, you just apply it to your wet face and it kind of melts in, splash some water to rinse and pat dry.

It saved me when I went camping and didn’t have any moisturizer, it felt so nice on my smoky, dried out face from the campfire.

Best non-foaming cleanser
This cleansing milk dispenses out as a thick creamy lotion, is cruelty free and is fragrance free but does have a mild fruity scent that comes naturally from the ingredients. There are oils in this but they are not problematic for my skin which is dry, sensitive and prone to dehydration. Using a non-foaming cream cleanser isn’t for everyone but this one is so thick and Show more

lovee, just repurchased my second tube. my skin usually gets so red and tight with gel cleansers but this seems to take off oils, sunscreen, silicones well while leaving my skin hydrated and plump. my skin's also smoother and brighter, the green plum water and mung bean exfoliates just enough for everyday use. a little goes a long way too; 3-5 drops is enough.
