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

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 
Emulsion Stabilising, Gel Forming

Carbomer is a polymer of acrylic acid. Its main role is to create a gel consistency.

A high amount of carbomer can cause pilling or balling up of products. Don't worry, most products contain 1% or less of carbomer.

Antioxidant

Hydroxyacetophenone is antioxidant with skin conditioning and soothing properties. It also boosts the efficiency of preservatives.

This ingredient is not irritating or sensitizing.

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.

This is not hydrating enough for combo skin. Left my skin feeling like it needed more, but it does absorb well and has no scent.

Unfortunately I realized my skin is sensitive to centella asiatica after consistently getting irritation after using this. I’ve found It gets worse if layering multiple products that contain centella (aka cica or tiger grass). It’s all over Korean skincare too 😓

i have oily combo skin and used this in both dry winter and tropical humid climates. this works well for me and does not sit heavily on my face, absorbs nicely with little fragrance.

for tropical humid weather, i highly recommend this gel for its soothing and cooling properties. however, i did think it wasn't moisturizing enough for dry weather without layering an occlusive over it as my chin Show more

Has a really lovely texture
for an aloe vera gel but I'm afraid it's just not doing much for me. I'd say this gel is even a little bit drying. Does pill due to high concentration of carbomer.
