Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.
It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.
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.

One of my two favorite cleansing balms. Very smooth texture, spreads and melts easily on the skin. Removes makeup and water-resistant sunscreen effectively. Has no scent. Affordable, vegan, and cruelty free.
When I compare this against my other favorite cleansing balm, which is the Beauty of Joseon Radiance Cleansing Balm, there are two main differences:
1) This one feels somehow even more Show more
Loved this product.
4 stars because of smell. Not perfume, but something industrial oil-ish.
