Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.
Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

I love this oil-based cleanser! I’ve stuck with it for a while because it’s so hard to find a good oil-based cleanser for double cleansing. This has lasted me at least four months and my skin always feels so clean and soft after. Other oil-based cleansers sometimes feel super heavy and have resulted in breakouts for me. It can also be hard to find oil-based cleansers that don’t have a ton of oils Show more
The best cleanser I have and ever will use. Nothing compares. Removed makeup. Balances. Restores. Improves my eczema. I shave with it. My skin and face are lost without it.

I feel like this cleansing oil is perfect for those with dryer skin. However, for my sensitive, acne prone skin that leans more towards combination/oily, this oil made me break out. It’s a very thick formula that’s hard to wash off, even with a second cleanser. Because of this, I find myself rubbing my face and eyes a lot harder, and scrubbing with a lot more effort than usual. It’s also made Show more
