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, Skin Protecting

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Antioxidant, Skin Conditioning

Tocopheryl Acetate is AKA Vitamin E. It is an antioxidant and protects your skin from free radicals. Free radicals damage the skin by breaking down collagen.

One study found using Tocopheryl Acetate with Vitamin C decreased the number of sunburned cells.

Tocopheryl Acetate is commonly found in both skincare and dietary supplements.

Saved my skin!

This cream was the only thing I've used for months after a bad reaction to a AHA + BHA chemical exfoliant that left my with a burning sensation (for two days), red with bumps and massive dry patches.

The texture of this cream is divine and it leaves the skin soft and hydrated. This is the cream that made me fall in love with -decent- skincare, so it has a very special place Show more

Just a basic moisturizer that does nothing more than to moisturize.
And I love it because it’s simple and just does its job… nothing more or less. I feel like nowadays i layer so many products with a lot of aggressive ingredients already, adding a cream with same ingredients might be just to much for my skin barrier.
This is just not the case here, it’s just a basic product with basic Show more

I used this cream when I was about 14, never had irritations or in general a problem with it. It didn’t do much, but it was good at doing it’s job (lock the moisture)
