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, Masking, Skin Conditioning

Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

  • It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
  • It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
  • It helps improve product application.
  • It has mild preservative properties.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

HOLY GRAIL!!!! 😭😭😭
My skin: Extremely sensitive, trans masc and started testosterone which made my skin oilier and somehow drier??? have had semi cystic hormonal acne. Wrecked skin barrier from exfoliating and shaving badly at the start of my testo journey.

THIS. THIS IS THE BEST. I thought because I have oilier skin it would break me out but this is one of the only moisturiser that doesn’t Show more

I live in a humid weather and have combination skin, but surprisingly this product seals in well the retinal and azelaic acid products I use. Hydrating and moisturizing at the same time.
