Emollient
Very Disliked

Ethylhexyl Palmitate is created from 2-ethylhexyl alcohol and palmitic acid. It is a fatty acid ester.

The fatty acid content of Ethylhexyl Palmitate makes it an emollient. Emollients help soften and hydrate your skin by trapping moisture within.

Ethylhexyl Palmitate is also used to help improve the texture of cosmetics. It helps other ingredient dissolve in products and help disperse ingredients more evenly. In fact, it is commonly used to evenly mix sunscreen ingredients such as avobenzone and ethylhexyl triazone. It can also help stabilize the fragrances in a product as a fragrance fixative.

Ethylhexyl Palmitate can be used to substitute mineral oil.

Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate comes from Isostearic Acid and glycerin.

It is an emollient, emulsifier, and gentle cleanser. As an emollient, it helps trap moisture to keep skin soft and hydrated. Emulsifiers help prevent ingredients from separating.

This ingredient is common in oil-based products. This is because it helps oil-ingredients be easily washed away without leaving a residue.

Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate may not be fungal-acne safe.

Realmente um limpador eficiente e agradável. :)
Porém... Principalmente se você for do time premiado com Acne fúngica... Siga. As. Instruções: O produto recomenda sua retirada com água morna/quente.
Água fria funciona, mas senti a necessidade de lavar mais de uma vez para limpeza "completa". (3 vezes... ;-;)
E as aspas aqui têm a ver com a minha condição de Acne Fúngica. Sendo este um produto com vários ingredientes não recomendados para este público, o NÃO USO de água morna/quente deixou resíduos que me renderam uma grande e inesperada reação de foliculite. T-T
Sim, tenho certeza que foi isso, pois: Já usava o produto corretamente a meses, então fiz uma viagem onde o banheiro do local não tinha água quente. Esta foi a única mudança na rotina, mesmo o clima do destino é similar ao de onde moro, ambos quente e úmido.
Portanto, respeite as instruções dos rótulos. :)

One of my two favorite cleansing balms. Very smooth texture, spreads and melts easily on the skin. Removes makeup and water-resistant sunscreen effectively. Has no scent. Affordable, vegan, and cruelty free.

When I compare this against my other favorite cleansing balm, which is the Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm, there are two main differences:
1) This one feels somehow even more smooth than the BoJ one, I would say exceptionally smooth and silky.
2) The BoJ balm emulsifies a little more readily than this one. This one takes just a little bit more work to emulsify.

It works and matches all of my requirements. 5 stars. I'll probably switch between this and the Beauty of Joseon cleansing balm, as I love them both.
