Dicaprylyl Ether is created from caprylic acid. It is a texture-enhancer and emollient.
Stearic Acid is a fatty acid. It is an emollient, emulsifier, and texture enhancer.

Carbomer is a polymer of acrylic acid. Its main role is to create gel consistency within products.

Clogged pores! 😭
I really wanted to love this, but after using it for a few days on the dry patches under my eyes and nose, I noticed it had settled into my pores and started forming blackheads. 😭
It makes a nice hand cream for my bathroom, though.

I was hoping this would be a lot more moisturizing for me on its own. It feels nice, light, and easy to spread but within a couple hours or so it seemed like I hadn't put anything on. Also, I didn't really smell it when I tried it on my hand but that oaty smell really hit me when I put it on my face. I don't like the scent.
The next morning my skin was flaky over my eyebrows which is crazy because my forehead has always been more on the oily side, never had flaking skin there! I bought a centella ampoule at the same time so I ended up layering the cream with that and it felt better but still not enough. I think I'll just use it for my hands.
