Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate is a plant-derived emulsifier and pigment-dispersing agent with a non-sticky skin feel.
It helps products glide on smoothly and prevents oil and water from separating in a formula, making it suitable for sunscreen and makeup formulations.
The EU inventory of cosmetics has no use restrictions on this ingredient and it is considered well-tolerated.
This ingredient may not be fungal acne safe because it is derived from isostearic acid.
Learn more about Polyglyceryl-2 TriisostearatePrunus Avium Seed Oil is the oil pressed from sweet cherry pits. It's an emollient whose main job is to soften skin and help it hold onto moisture; it can also help keep creams stable.
Most of it is oleic and linoleic acid, with a little palmitic acid and an unusual fatty acid called alpha-eleostearic acid.
Lab tests show antioxidant activity on this ingredient but nobody has studied it on human skin yet.
Safety-wise, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel considers it safe as used in cosmetics.
Brands typically use it in small amounts (0.01 to 0.02%).
Cherry allergies come from proteins in the fruit and refined oils carry very little protein so reactions are unlikely. However, it's still a good idea to patch test if you have a stone fruit or cherry allergy.
There are no comedogenicity results or tests done for this oil. Its high linoleic acid content might actually be beneficial for acne: in a small placebo-controlled trial, topical linoleic acid shrank follicular casts and microcomedones by almost 25% over one month.
This ingredient is not fungal acne safe because it's made mostly of C16 and C18 fatty acids. Malassezia can grow well on palmitic acid (C16:0) or oleic acid (C18:1) as its only fatty acid source.
