Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Glycerin (or glycerol) is a compound naturally found in your skin. It's a powerhouse humectant that pulls water into the stratum corneum.
Topically, glycerin does several things at once:
Your skin makes glycerin on its own (mostly from sebaceous oil breakdown) and shuttles it to your outermost layer of skin, or your epidermis, via aquaporin-3.
Aquaporin-3 is a transporter that is essential for normal skin hydration, elasticity, and repair. Interestingly, mice lacking in AQP3 have dry and less elastic skin that can be fully corrected with glycerin.
This ingredient is non-irritating, plays well with almost every ingredient, and works across all skin types. Typical use is anywhere between 3-10% but can go up to 79% in some leave-on products.
Just know very high concentrations (>40%) can feel tacky in low humidity.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Fermenting soy:
The isoflavones are the workhorses behind the common claims; lab and animal studies show they mop up free radicals, help protect skin cells from UVB damage, and nudge fibroblasts to make more collagen while slowing the enzymes that break collagen down.
One controlled clinical study using an isoflavone cream reported softer wrinkles and better skin texture over time. A topical fermented soy extract also improved hydration and elasticity in an animal aging model.
The big caveat is that most of this evidence comes from soy isoflavones and related fermented soy extracts rather than this exact INCI. Some of the strongest data also comes from oral studies.
So it's best to think of this ingredient as a gentle, antioxidant-leaning conditioning agent rather than a proven wrinkle eraser.
At this time, there's no published concentration levels for this specific ferment but it usually shows up at modest levels in real products (~1% or less).
One last thing for people with soy allergies: it's always worth patch testing this ingredient despite the lowered allergy risk.

It’s often used to:
Propanediol is not likely to cause sensitivity and considered safe to use. It is derived from corn or petroleum with a clear color and no scent.
Learn more about PropanediolWater. 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. Remember to stay hydrated!
