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!

Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

  • It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
  • It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
  • It helps improve product application.
  • It has mild preservative properties.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse. 

It is a:

  • Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
  • Emollient, helping to soften skin
  • Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
  • Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives 
Humectant, Skin Conditioning

Betaine is a common humectant (a substance that promotes retention of moisture). It's known to be gentle on the skin and can help balance hydration.

This ingredient is best for improving hydration and soothing irritated skin. Studies also show it helps even out skin tone.

Fun fact: Betaine is naturally created in the skin and body. The kind found within cosmetic products can be either plant-derived or synthetic.

Disodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.

It is a chelating agent, meaning it neutralizes metal ions that may be found in a product.

Disodium EDTA is a salt of edetic acid and is found to be safe in cosmetic ingredients.

My combination-to-oily skin loved this water gel moisturizer. It's so lightweight and moisturizes well enough for morning use. It doesn't do anything else, but it is unlikely to irritate sensitive skin, either. It is somewhat expensive in my country. So, I will repurchase if I cannot find a cheaper and similar moisturizer, but it has become my favorite one so far.

Great for summer, young skin
This one is great for the youthful skins. It sinks right in. For the cold weather, this one is too light for me.

On the watery side, but still effective. Not as hydrating as others, often still feel dry and need to apply more.

This is a holy grail for me fr. I have very oily skin and have a really hard time finding moisturizers that don’t just worsen that issue. This is so lightweight and my skin drinks it up like water. Makes my skin more bouncy and glowy. Makes my skin feel clean and refreshed. It’s soothing too. Works great as a primer under makeup. Even though this was the first snail mucin product I ever tried and Show more
