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: Mixed

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.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent

1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.

In products that are water-based, this ingredient can help stabilize perfumes and fragrances. It can also help make the texture of products softer and more smooth.

Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner contains this as ingredient number 24.

Neogen Real Ferment Micro Toner contains this as ingredient number 9.

Would marry this product.
Hydrating & moisturizing at the same time. If I have a small breakout it would be gone in 3 days max, sometimes even the next day. After focusing on hydration my skin doesn't suffer from hormonal acne anymore.

I loved how this toner/essence felt on my skin!! Just the right consistency, just the right glow…
But; I recently discovered that fermented ingredients (and their function) ABSOLUTELY increased the terrible eruption that occurred on my face. I’m sensitive to the fermented ingredients :/. It’s what makes so many of the Korean skincare products so very effective, and now I have to purge hundreds of $$$ worth of products. I am so very upset. I don’t know how I am going to achieve the glow I love so much now…
