Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

Emollient, Skin Conditioning

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a synthetic polymer. Polymers are compounds with high molecular weight. Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is an emollient and texture enhancer.

In one study, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene showed better skin hydration levels than Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. As an emollient, it helps keep your skin soft and hydrated by trapping moisture in.

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is often used as a mineral oil replacement.

Love this! I use this followed by Vaseline. I think of it as “lip slugging”. My lips are so soft and moisturized with no peeling or cracking at all. I prefer lip stains and this keeps my lips in perfect condition for applying them.

I like it!!! It’s hydrating really glowy, I use it when I’m not wearing wakeup or anything☺️ I have the peach flavor and it smells so good, it’s kind of sad they won’t make this scent anymore 🥹

I tried it and the hydration lasted less than 20 minutes. Also, quite expensive for that tiny amount of product.
