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
Mixed

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.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

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. It makes my face noticeable less red, doesn't pill under makeup (on days I'm wearing makeup I try to just go for this toner, moisturizer and sunscreen) and after 3 weeks of trying it out it hasn't caused me any irritation or acne/fungal bumps.

Will definitely keep going for this over more expensive products.
