Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

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

  • It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
  • It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
  • It helps improve product application.
  • It has mild preservative properties.

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

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse. 

It is a:

  • Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
  • Emollient, helping to soften skin
  • Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
  • Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives 
Skin Conditioning

Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.

You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.

I haven't tried any of the other more popular propolis toners/essences/serums out there, but I'm here to tell you, as a sensitive skin, eczema and acne prone girlie, that this is bomb. The way it feels on the skin is lovely, it truly feels soothing and hydrating without any stickiness or that sitting on top of the skin feeling. It absorbs well and is just slightly more viscous than a watery toner. Show more

Texture: slightly thick water
Smell: like propolis?
It's a bit sticky after applying but the hydration and glowiness that it gives me the next day is with it.
This toner is perfect for sensitive dry skins and combination skin in winter.
I wouldn't use it in the morning since it's too thick and in summer it's a no, but if you need something calming, hydrating and healing? This is for you.

Light but moisturizing
I now understand the praise this product has received because now it is one of my favorites too! The consistency is more on the watery side, so I was surprised that not only is this product hydrating, but moisturizing as well because it is very effective at locking in that hydration. This toner is able to accomplish this without feeling too heavy on the face. I also noticed Show more
