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!

Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

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.
  • It has mild preservative properties.

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

Antioxidant, Skin Conditioning

Madecassoside comes from the super popular skin-soothing ingredient, Centella asiatica. It is one of four active compounds found in the extract of Centella Asiatica.

Madecassoside has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties. It contains fatty acids, amino acids, beta-carotene, and phytochemicals.

One study found using Madecassoside with ascorbic acid helped reduce the signs of aging and improved skin hydration.

Skin Conditioning

Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.

You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.

Disodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.

It is a chelating agent, meaning it neutralizes metal ions that may be found in a product.

Disodium EDTA is a salt of edetic acid and is found to be safe in cosmetic ingredients.

It's good for me but as an oily skin, it gives me too much oil the next morning if I used this at night. It almost have the preference that I like except that it is not silicone free

Had a love-hate relationship in the beginning, until I just flat out dislike it in the end. My skin took awhile to react, and when it did I got redness on my cheeks and chin. Also got small breakouts. I think it's mostly the extracts? I hope it isn't the cica because it is a popular ingredient. With that said, it did control my oiliness. The texture is alright too. After applying it might feel Show more

It's so so
I have oily combination skin, I'm trying to do the minimal 3 step routine; cleanse, moisturized and sunscreen. Being using this for almost 1 month now, it's very drying when use without a toner, just after cleansing. But with a tonner it's quite okay. It doesn't cause me more break outs nor it reduce my acne breakouts. But it give calming and cooling effect. I suggest this product for Show more

I use this only on my arms and legs. Living in a hot and humid country, this gel has been my life saver for rashes. I got a terrible breakout from hives and this gel soothed the rashes and prevented it from growing out. It is also very cooling, refreshing on my skin and helps to combat heat. I highly recommend this to people who live in hot and humid places. I don't think it is suitable for dry Show more
