Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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.

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!

This is one of the best shower oils I’ve tried. It smells delicious and it lathers so smooth. My bathroom smells like almond heaven whenever I use this.
smells really good, and your bathroom will smell really good after you use it. however, it’s expensive for what it is, and you’ll use up this product FAST.

Grease ball
Leaves a greasy layer atop yout skin that sits there for HOURS. I have dry skin and this has done absolutely nothing for me other than make me look like a grease ball. In fact my skin is even more dry :(
My holy grail for my eczema flare-ups on my hands! I can go to sleep with this cream on and wake up the next day with my eczema feeling and looking much more calm. I only wish they also came in smaller tubes so I could leave one in every bag.
I would not purchase the bigger pump bottles as the efficacy does not surpass 6 months of usage on the same tube. I am not 100% sure, but I think the aqua Show more
