Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Ethylhexyl Palmitate is created from 2-ethylhexyl alcohol and palmitic acid. It is a fatty acid ester.
The fatty acid content of Ethylhexyl Palmitate makes it an emollient. Emollients help soften and hydrate your skin by trapping moisture within.
Ethylhexyl Palmitate is also used to help improve the texture of cosmetics. It helps other ingredient dissolve in products and help disperse ingredients more evenly.
You'll likely find this ingredient in sunscreen, as it is often used to mix UV-blocking ingredients such as avobenzone and ethylhexyl triazone.
It can also help stabilize the fragrances in a product as a fragrance fixative.
Ethylhexyl Palmitate can be used to substitute mineral oil.
Due to its high fatty acid content, it may not be fungal-acne safe.

This ingredient is a tetraester from oleic acid and polyethylene glycol ether of sorbitol.
As an emulsifier, it helps ingredients such as oil and water mix together. This allows the dirt and oils in your skin to be washed away.
One study found pumpkin oil containing Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate helped hydrate the skin and did not cause any irritation.

Muji Cleansing Oil [Sensitive Skin] 15 ingredients
This does a great job of removing makeup and sunscreen, and it's also affordable. It has become my holy grail.
WNRP — although it’s very affordable, this oil cleanser left a film in my eyes which was annoying to deal with. The slip was okay, I definitely prefer other oil cleansers. I appreciated that this specific formulation could be used on damp skin.

Pros:
• Very lightweight, easy to wash off, and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry
Cons:
• Over the past couple of days, I’ve noticed a few closed comedones appear on my cheeks, and I feel like the cleansing oil might be causing this issue since it’s the only new product I’ve introduced into my routine.
