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

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!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Propylene Glycol is an odorless, colorless liquid. As a humectant, it helps skin retain moisture. It also aids in delivering active ingredients.

Another role of this ingredient is preventing a product from melting or freezing. Propylene glycol also adds antimicrobrial properties to a product, elongating product lifespan.

This ingredient is considered an organic alcohol and commonly added into both cosmetics and foods.

Those with sensitive skin or conditions may develop a rash when using this ingredient.

Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate is a preservative.

I bought these wipes for days when my chronic pain is really bad and I need something quick and easy. According to this website it says that this product is a bad match for my skin since it's dry and sensitive. However, I haven't noticed any irritation or excessive dryness. They cleanse really well. I will continue to use these as they are really helpful :) I recommend these!

Maybe it’s just me but right after using this product my skin starts to burn sooo badly and I have to immediately wash my face. The only plus side is that I don’t seem to breakout from using this product. Meh.
