What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

What it does: Preservative

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent germ and microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.

It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

Absolute best I've ever used!
I always have issues finding a hand cream that isn't greasy. So many claim that they aren't only to turn out to basically pool up on my hands and leave finger prints on literally everything. This does not do that for me. It absorbs quickly and leaves a noticeable difference. The first few uses I noticed that actual rough dry skin sloughed off of my hands at first and then afterwards once that was gone it has continued to leave beautiful smooth and comfortable skin on my hands! I love this stuff!
