Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Caprylyl Glycol is a humectant and emollient, meaning it attracts and preserves moisture.
It is a common ingredient in many products, especially those designed to hydrate skin. The primary benefits are retaining moisture, skin softening, and promoting a healthy skin barrier.
Though Caprylyl Glycol is an alcohol derived from fatty acids, it is not the kind that can dry out skin.
This ingredient is also used as a preservative to extend the life of products. It has slight antimicrobial properties.

Sandalwood may sensitize the skin for those sensitive to fragrances.
It has been used in traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine for centuries.

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

Here's what our community thinks
e.l.f. cosmetics Superrefine 10% Niacinamide Serum 19 ingredients
It's fine, inexpensive, effective. It dries down fine, not sticky. Unscented. It does have BHA so it might be irritating to sensitive skin, at such a high % of niacinamide.
