1
What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Community Rating: Loved

Allantoin plays a role in soothing and moisturizing the skin. Because of this, it is often added to products with strong active ingredients.

This oil cleanser does a good job at removing makeup including mascara, it has a thick texture, emulsifies quick enough and washes off well enough...

This oil cleanser does a good job at removing makeup including mascara, it has a thick texture, emulsifies quick enough and washes off well enough but if you truly has sensitive skin this product is kind of like perfume and the scent was very noticeable, unpleasant and my skin became slightly irritated not stinging or burning but red on contact. Its a functioning oil cleanser but i don't think its very well suited for sensitive skin.
