Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Masking, Skin Conditioning

This ingredient is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.

It helps thicken a product's formula and makes it easier to spread by dissolving clumping compounds.

Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.

While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

So smooth
This is an excellent oil - very very lightly scented (almost smells like pickles but I am pregnant, so...) and goes on very smoothly. I use it at night for extra moisture before my moisturizer and I love it. The only downside is this price point is not affordable for me in the long-run, so when my sample runs out I'll be missing it.

Instantly fell in love with this oil. It's light weight, absorbs quickly, goes on smoothly, doesn't leave me feeling greasy, hardly any noticeable fragrance, and an excellent source of Vitamin C. I use it at night after my serum and before moisturizing. My skin feels so smooth, not irritated, and well hydrated in the morning. What more could you want? Oh, the price... yeah it is definitely more on Show more
