Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Ci 77491 is also hydrated iron III oxide. It's sole purpose is to give a red/pink hue to products.
Iron III oxides are classified as inorganic chemicals for coloring.
Synthetically created Ci 77491 is considered safer than those naturally found. This is because the synthetically created version may contain less impurities. Iron oxides are generally non-toxic and non-allergenic.

Learn more about CI 77492Ci 77499 is also hydrated iron III oxide. It is created from mixing red and black iron oxides. This helps give shades of darkness to a product.
Iron III oxides are classified as inorganic chemicals for coloring.
Ci 77891 is a white pigment from Titanium dioxide. It is naturally found in minerals such as rutile and ilmenite.
It's main function is to add a white color to cosmetics. It can also be mixed with other colors to create different shades.
Ci 77891 is commonly found in sunscreens due to its ability to block UV rays.

Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides isn't fungal acne safe.
Hydrogenated Soybean Oil is soybean oil (Glycine soja) that has been chemically treated with hydrogen gas to convert it's naturally unsaturated fats into saturated ones.
This turns a liquid oil into a more stable, semi-solid, waxy substance.
In formulas, it acts as a skin conditioning agent, emollient, and humectant that helps slow moisture loss from skin.
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has evaluated it and concluded it safe as used in cosmetics, citing low systemic toxicity, a long history of safe use, and low irritation/sensitization potential.
There's no mandatory maximum-use concentration and concentrations range from low single digits to 100%.
Soy is a common food allergen but cosmetic-grade Hydrogenated Soybean Oil is heavily refined. This means the proteins responsible for most soy allergic reactions are largely removed during that processing.
However, people with a known soy allergy should still patch test before use since trace protein residues can vary by manufacturing source.
Regular soybean oil (the non-hydrogenated version) has been rated as moderately comedogenic on the Fulton rabbit-ear scale; this rabbit-ear model is increasingly seen as a poor predictor of real-world human pore-clogging since it uses undiluted ingredients on rabbit ear skin rather than realistic concentrations on human skin.
Later studies also revealed inconsistent results when the rabbit ear model was applied to human skin.
This ingredient shows up on a lot of "pore-clogging" lists but there's no real evidence behind that. It doesn't even have a comedogenic rating from an actual study; the numbers you'll find online come from blogs citing other blogs.
Some people still find it breaks them out. So if that's you, definitely trust your skin.
Because this ingredient is a saturated triglyceride, it may not be fungal acne safe. This is because Malassezia breaks down sebum triglycerides into fatty acids it can consume, making this ingredient a possible source for the yeast.

This ingredient is common in powder makeup, where it helps keep the powder together.
Zinc Stearate is hydrophobic and repels water.
This ingredient can be sourced from non-animal or animal sources. It is best to reach out to the brand to see where they source this ingredient from.
