Sorbitan Sesquioleate is derived from sorbitol and oleic acid. It is an emulsifier and prevents ingredients from separating.
Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
Propanediol helps absorb ingredients into your skin, boosting their benefits. It can act as an emollient, making your skin softer. Propanediol can help products last longer by boosting the properties of preservatives within the formulation.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.
Caprylyl Glycol is a humectant and emollient, meaning it attracts and preserves moisture.
Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.

Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate comes from Isostearic Acid and glycerin.
It is an emollient, emulsifier, and gentle cleanser. As an emollient, it helps trap moisture to keep skin soft and hydrated. Emulsifiers help prevent ingredients from separating.
This ingredient is common in oil-based products. This is because it helps oil-ingredients be easily washed away without leaving a residue.
Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate may not be fungal-acne safe.

(Using Since 2022) Best cleansing balm I've ever purchased! Most cleansing balms I've looked at usually contain some type of fragrance but this doesn't. The formulation is great as it easily melts on your face once applied. Even when I place some around my under eye and eyelid area there is no irritation or stinging. I would say this makes for a great budget buy as a little goes a long way. This is a must have if you're a fan of double cleansing!

I use this for 'slip' while using a guasha tool every day in the shower (I use a guasha just for improving lymphatic flow in my collarbone, neck, and face). The added bonus is that it hydrates my skin and feels great.

The pros are that it's really gentle and it goes away immediately with water, so no residue. I have reactive skin, and it hasn't affected me in any negative way. I have had some redness but I don't think it's from the product, but because I was too rough when using it a first. Once I stopped it went away.
It has a very light smell, like olive oil, which is unsurprising because it's the main oil. I don't think it goes away, but again, I'm sensitive to smells. Still, it doesn't annoy me much (I love olive oil).
It does not sting my eyes either, nor makes them blurry. It didn't help with sebaceous filaments, but it did made my nose softer.
The cons are that it's not good at removing my (admittedly) very stubborn makeup.
For reference, I use the TONYMOLY Shocking lip tint in red, which those who have heard of it or used it will know that it's a very long-lasting lip tip that lasts through most meals unless, of course, it's a very oily food. The only time it was removed almost completely is when I went to an italian restaurant, in which I ordered very buttery food, full of olive oil, and even then some color was left. I use it because I've heard some mukbangers use it as well.
I haven't been able to remove this tint with this oil. I have tried using some makeup removing wipes, then this oil at least 2-3 times on the lips to take it away, but it does not work to remove it fully and some color is left. I just sleep on it and by the time I wakeup, the redness from the tint is way less noticeable.
I suspect my saliva is better at removing this tint than this cleansing oil, which I find interesting.
If you don't own waterproof makeup, you have oily, combo skin or you tend to sweat a lot throughout the day, I do recommend it. Otherwise, it's not the best. Which I don't blame it for, it just does not work for me.
