Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.
Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.
Learn more about TocopherolLecithin is a term for a group of substances found in the cell membranes of plants, animals, and humans. They are made up of mixture of phospholipids.
This ingredient has emollient and emulsifying properties.
As an emollient, lecithen helps soften the skin and creates a barrier to keep moisture in.
As an emulsifier, it also helps prevent water and oil ingredients from separating. Lecithin can also help ingredients be better absorbed by the skin.
This is because the phospholipids in lecithin produce liposomes. Liposomes help other ingredients get through the skin barrier.
Depending on the source of this ingredient, lecithin may not be fungal acne safe. This is because some sources of lecithin come from soybean oil, which may feed the malassezia yeast that feeds fungal acne.
We recommend reaching out to the brand you are purchasing from to inquire about the source of their lecithin.

I have been bathing and showering my son with it since his birth (for 3 years)
I shave my legs with it. I wash my body with it.
It's so versatile and I never want to be without it.
It's oil, but it doesn't leave You oily.
Great multifunction product!

It's not easy to find a cleansing oil or balm that is not based around highly comedogenic and/or is fragranced. Others I have tried that do meet those criteria either still broke me out, were frustratingly expensive, or felt like they stripped my skin.
This Cleansing oil doesn't have any of those issues, making it quite special in my opinion, even though it doesn't feel like it should be. It Show more
Another Prequel product I'm obsessed with. Other oils broke me out, but this one hasn't yet. I have sensitive, dry skin, but my skin feels very supple and ready for my cleanse (with the Gleanser!). Removes any makeup and sunscreen, although I tend to wear light makeup so can only speak to that. Oil feels like silk, emulsifies beautifully, and washes off easily.
