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!

Xanthan gum is used as a stabilizer and thickener within cosmetic products. It helps give products a sticky, thick feeling - preventing them from being too runny.

On the technical side of things, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide - a combination consisting of multiple sugar molecules bonded together.

Xanthan gum is a pretty common and great ingredient. It is a natural, non-toxic, non-irritating ingredient that is also commonly used in food products.

It’s pretty mid, did not notice any significant effect other than hydration. Giving it 4 stars because the ingredient list is quite clean and short. Did not irritate, but i feel like my skin likes heartleaf more than cantella.

Best product I have bought. I have using it for about 3 years. It was the only serum that was suited for my sensitive, combination skin. It doesn’t break me out or cause any flare ups of my atopic skin. It helps my skin barrier. I use it before my usual creams.
