Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil is the oil derived from the seeds of a Sunflower. Sunflower seed oil is non-fragrant. It is an emollient, meaning it helps to soften the skin.
Sunflower seed oil contains many fatty acids. The fatty acids found in sunflower seeds include (from highest amount to least): linoleic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, arachidic acid, oleic acid, and linolenic acid.
These fatty acids help the skin create ceramides. Ceramides play a role in repairing the skin barrier.
Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil helps moisturize the skin. This in turn helps the skin look more rejuvenated and smoother.
Sunflowers are rich in vitamin E.
Historians believe Indigenous cultures of North America domesticated sunflowers before corn. Thus they relied on sunflower oil for a variety of uses. One such use is moisturizing skin and hair.
Sunflower seed oil may not be fungal acne safe. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns.

Pros:
• Very lightweight, easy to wash off, and doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry
• Doesn’t seem to irritate my skin even though it contains fragrance (the fragrance is pretty mild and not overpowering)
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. I also follow up with a water-based cleanser to ensure that my skin is cleansed thoroughly.
• Has fragrance (not ideal for people with very sensitive skin)
• Has corn oil, isopropyl myristate, and ethylhexyl palmitate, which are all a bit higher on the comedogenic scale (I feel like they might be clogging my pores, but I'm not 100% sure)
NOTE: I’ll give an update next week if my skin gets worse or better.
