Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Pentylene glycol is typically used within a product to thicken it. It also adds a smooth, soft, and moisturizing feel to the product. It is naturally found in plants such as sugar beets.
The hydrophilic trait of Pentylene Glycol makes it a humectant. As a humectant, Pentylene Glycol helps draw moisture from the air to your skin. This can help keep your skin hydrated.
This property also makes Pentylene Glycol a great texture enhancer. It can also help thicken or stabilize a product.
Pentylene Glycol also acts as a mild preservative and helps to keep a product microbe-free.
Some people may experience mild eye and skin irritation from Pentylene Glycol. We always recommend speaking with a professional about using this ingredient in your routine.
Pentylene Glycol has a low molecular weight and is part of the 1,2-glycol family.

Tripeptide-29 is a synthetic peptide designed to support collagen production. It has skin conditioning properties and may help with improving skin texture, fine-lines, and hydration.
Due to its small molecular size, it can easily penetrate skin.
What makes this peptide unique is its purity and availability in a concentrated powder. Traditional peptides are derived from broken-down collagen in a process that produces many random peptides.
The manufacturer's lab tests show 3% of this ingredient increased collagen type I synthesis by 400% within 48 hours. However, this was done in-vitro (not tested on humans).
While the theory behind it is promising, its real-world effectiveness remains unproven, making it an interesting option for skincare enthusiasts but not a guaranteed solution.

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!
