Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

Abrasive, Emulsion Stabilising, Masking

Synthetic Wax is created from fossil fuels such as natural gas. It is used to enhance texture, adjust pH, and as an occlusive.

It may also be used as an abrasive ingredient to exfoliate the skin.

Synthetic Wax may not be fungal acne safe.

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!

Preservative

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.

It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

Holy Grail
I loved this cleansing balm! It effectively removes my sunscreen and makeup with no intense rubbing or irritation. Oh and the way it emulsifies, couldn't be more perfect and milky. If you haven't tried this already, you're missing out.

i really wanted to love it :(
this oil cleanser just doesn’t work for my skin. it breaks me out when i try and use it. i’m sure some other people would enjoy this but it’s just not for my skin. 😕

(this has a tropical-ish fruity smell which i enjoy)

Skinsort says it's a mediocre match for me but I find that it makes my skin smoother and it does a decent job in exfoliating my skin. Really convenient to carry around as I usually transfer to a smaller container when travelling.
