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!

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse. 

It is a:

  • Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
  • Emollient, helping to soften skin
  • Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
  • Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives 
Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

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

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

Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.

Humectant, Skin Conditioning

Sodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.

Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.

Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.

No doubt in my top 3 fav toners !! For those you who don't know, low molecular penetrates the deepest and absorbs the quickest when applied to the skin, where as high molecular kind of just stays at the surface of your skin and takes ages to absorb. THIS TKNER I'M TELLING YOU DOES WONDERSSS. It's so hydrating and abosrbs in literally 3 seconds i am NAWT joking 🧍🏻‍♀️😪 like idk what drgs thry put in Show more

Girlies! When I tell you this is the best hylauronic acid serum.. I'm telling you it's the best hylauronic acid serum LIKEEEE... Also a tip, DO NOT apply this to dry skin!! Hylauronic acid locks in moisture so if your skin doesnt have that moisture for the hylauronic acid to penetrate it wont do anything, either that or it might make your skin worse, so PLEASE make sure your face is either wet or Show more

I’d go so far to say this is better, even, than Torriden’s hyaluronic acid serum! This is soooooo good, so affordable, and so effective. Five stars.
