Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

1
What it does: Antioxidant, Masking, Skin Conditioning
Community Rating: Liked

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.

I experimented with using this as a lip balm, and was disappointed. I liked it at first, but after a few days, I realized it was slowly burning my lips, and I developed a bit of a crack in one of the corners of my mouth.

I did a bit of research, and as far as I can tell, on of the ingredients - Rhus verniciflua peel wax - contains Urushiol, the compound in poison ivy and poison oak that causes rashes. Maybe they do something to the wax to remove this compound, but if so, they must not remove all of it, because I have no idea what else in this balm could have caused my physical reaction.

It's insane to me that they would use such an ingredient in a product designed for babies!

I did, however, end up trying the stick version of their balm, which does not contain Rhus verniciflua peel wax, and I have used it for a while now with no burning (which further leads me to believe that's what gave me the reaction). I highly recommend giving that one a try as a lip balm.
