Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

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.

Product review:
In summer this works fine. it does soothe my skin and doesn't irritate my eczema. Oil cleansing relieves my eczema. But in winter it's irritating and also causing white bumps. So I guess it's a bit thick for my skin type. And it doesn't clean the skin.

My skin:
Eczmea on the forehead, fungal acne, milia, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and normal to combination skin.

I used to use more expensive oil cleaner, but decided to try this one. I really like it. Rinses off well and keeps my skin clean. Not drying at all. I have oily skin, but I like this product.

A pretty good make-up remover oil, it's very thick and heavy on the skin which is why it removes make-up very easily, I recommend it for dry and sensitive skin as it's not drying at all and even has a positive effect on redness. However, I wouldn't recommend it at all for acne-prone skin as it can potentially clog pores, and even if I emulsify assiduously with double cleansing I end up with white Show more
