Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse.
It is a:
- Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
- Emollient, helping to soften skin
- Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
- Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives
Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate is a surfactant and emulsifier.
This ingredient is a tetraester from oleic acid and polyethylene glycol ether of sorbitol.
As an emulsifier, it helps ingredients such as oil and water mix together. This allows the dirt and oils in your skin to be washed away.
One study found pumpkin oil containing Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate helped hydrate the skin and did not cause any irritation.
Learn more about Sorbeth-30 TetraoleateSorbitan Sesquioleate is derived from sorbitol and oleic acid. It is an emulsifier and prevents ingredients from separating.
Specifically, this ingredient is a water-in-oil emulsifier, meaning it helps water dissolve into oil.
Some studies suggest this ingredient may cause irritation in some people. If you are unsure, it is best to patch test.
This ingredient may not be Malassezia folliculitis, or fungal-acne safe due to the oleic acid. In vitro studies have shown that Oleic Acid is one of the fatty acids that induce rapid Malassezia growth in lab settings.

The seeds and sprouts are naturally rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids that give the extract solid free-radical scavenging activity.
Interestingly, it has some brightening research behind it too; the purified fraction of sprouted mung bean extract was better than arbutin at reducing melanin production in cells. Sprouted extracts also blocked tyrosinase (the enzyme that triggers pigment production) and this effect is mostly credited to a compound called vitexin.
In a separate study, researchers packaged mung been seed coat extract into tiny delivery particles called niosomes (similar idea to liposomes) and found it protected skin cells from UV damage in lab testing + boosted collagen production.
Another study tested creams with 10-25% mung bean seed coat extract and the version with the highest amount (25%) had the strongest antioxidant activity.
It's worth noting most of this evidence is in-vitro and early-stage formulation work rather than the large clinical trials on humans.

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. Remember to stay hydrated!
