Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

Masking, Solvent

Dipropylene Glycol is a synthetically created stabilizer and solvent. It is a part of the glycol class in the alcohol family.

Dipropylene Glycol helps dissolve and evenly distribute ingredients. It also helps decrease viscosity and thin out texture.

As a masking agent, Dipropylene Glycol can be used to cover the smell of other ingredients. However, it does not have a scent.

Studies show Dipropylene Glycol is considered safe to use in skincare.

Preservative

Methylparaben is a preservative and is a paraben. It is used to prevent the growth of fungus, mold, and other harmful bacteria. Parabens are chemicals used as preservatives in both cosmetics and food.

Methylparaben can be synthetically created. It can also be found naturally in some fruits, such as blueberries.

Oftentimes, Methylparaben is combined with other parabens to help increase the shelf life.

The safety of Methylparaben is currently being studied. While ongoing studies are looking into the safety of parabens, the results have been very mixed. Some studies have not found Methylparaben to be harmful.

Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.

I have a combination skin type (oily t-zone, normal for the rest).

I use this sunscreen on the face only. It also has good oil control but at the expense of making my face duller and dry to the point that it worsened my fine lines. I don't use make-up so I can't cover up the dullness and fine lines.

I do love the smooth texture it leaves once it's dry. No white cast but my skin color is an Show more

Loooove this one. It’s so underrated! I tried this out on a beach trip and I was really impressed. It’s so easy to put on and it dries down quickly to a matte finish. My t-zone is also less oily when I use this. I didn’t burn or tan, and reapplication was also nice. If you have combo or oily skin, I really recommend!

PROS:
- Travel-friendly bottle
- Great price
- Thin, lightweight milk Show more

cleanses waterproof makeup very well, much better than other cleansing oils i have tried (anua, skin1004, kose softymo, hada labo). emulsifies well and rinses off without residue. only downside is that it can be a little drying if rubbed in for too long (~10min) and stings the eyes.
