Dimethicone is a silicone used for making products smooth and silky. It also has the added benefit of sealing in hydration. The amount of dimethicone found in beauty products is considered safe and non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores.
Diisostearyl Malate is an emollient and most often used in lip products. It comes from isostearyl alcohol, a fatty acid, and malic acid, an AHA.
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.

Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Dimethicone is a silicone used for making products smooth and silky. It also has the added benefit of sealing in hydration. The amount of dimethicone found in beauty products is considered safe and non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores.
Dimethicone has been found increase absorption in skin, boosting the benefits of other ingredients. While there is concern for the safety of dimethicone, the levels used in skincare are safe for use.
Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.
Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

I have been using this as a hand lotion since it comes in a large bottle and I go through a lot of hand cream. Honestly surprised by how good of job this has done to help my eczema, I love the cream version of this product but I'm very pleased with the results of the lotion!

this moisturizer broke me out in areas where my mask sits (cheeks and jawline). when I put it on, it sits on my face throughout the night and I have to wash it off in the morning because it barely absorbs into my skin. this did not allow the areas where my break outs were to heal, so I changed moisturizers and my skin is doing so much better. Even after two weeks of not using it on my face, I haven't had painful break outs or feel like my pores were clogged. I now use it for my feet, so if you have dry hands and feet, this works great.

I like to slather this on my feet before putting on socks. It smells wonderful and keeps my skin in such great shape. Follow with Vaseline for an even greater benefit. Also great for knees, elbows or wherever you have issues with rough dry itchy skin.
