Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Butyrospermum Parkii Butter is a plant lipid from the fruit of the Shea Tree. It is an effective skin hydrator and emollient.
Emollients help soothe and soften your skin. It does this by creating a protective film on your skin. This barrier helps trap moisture and keeps your skin hydrated. Emollients may be effective at treating dry or itchy skin.
Shea butter is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants help fight free-radicals, or molecules that may harm the body. It is also full of fatty acids including stearic acid and linoleic acid. These acids help replenish the skin and keep skin moisturized.

Shea butter may not be fungal acne safe. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Within a product, Caprylic Triglyceride can thicken the product and make spreadability easier by dissolving clumping compounds. An added benefit of Caprylic Triglyceride is its antioxidant properties.
Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid. Caprylic Triglyceride has not been found to be toxic for human use in concentrations under 50%.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.
Learn more about Caprylic/Capric TriglycerideCitric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).
As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.
If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

Learn more about Citric AcidSodium Benzoate is a preservative. It's used in both cosmetic and food products to inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria. It is typically produced synthetically.
Both the US FDA and EU Health Committee have approved the use of sodium benzoate. In the US, levels of 0.1% (of the total product) are allowed.
Sodium benzoate works as a preservative by inhibiting the growth of bacteria inside of cells. It prevents the cell from fermenting a type of sugar using an enzyme called phosphofructokinase.
Sodium Benzoate is the salt of benzoic acid. Foods containing sodium benzoate include soda, salad dressings, condiments, fruit juices, wines, and snack foods.
Studies for using ascorbic acid and sodium benzoate in cosmetics are lacking, especially in skincare routines with multiple steps.

The smell is hypnotizing, but (and this is hard to admit) it pills. 😱
The most egregious word to describe a product is pilling. Pilling is a dealbreaker. a non-negotiable. cause for immediate banishment.
But.. the grapefruit, lime and citrus notes cause me to keep coming back. I won't be repurchasing it, but I WILL finish the product I have.

It Pills.
I never purchase a product based off of an advertisement. Never. I always watch 10 reviews, add it to my wish list, follow it for weeks, then wait for a sale. I bought this on SIGHT. I love the body wash so much, i just KNEW i would love this. Two words: It pills.
I've tried it for four nights. The first night, I wasn't all the way dry, so I attributed it to oil v. water. The next night, I thought maybe I needed to stir the product a little bit (desperate much?) Using it a few more nights, there is no excuse I can put together. Rubbing this in, you cannot rub it all the way in, otherwise it will pill. Like, literally right now I am sloughing off little rolls of wax. gross.
