Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Squalane is an emollient that helps the skin hold onto moisture. It's an oily liquid that occurs naturally in certain types of fish and plant oils.
Because squalane boosts hydration in the skin, it also comes with plenty of benefits: it is an antioxidant and can help fight free radicals and skin damage. Squalane is also found to have a detoxifying effect when applied.
Squalane comes from squalene, which occurs naturally within the sebum of our skin. It is one of the oils our skin produces to keep itself hydrated. Squalane is the hydrogenated version of squalene and has a longer shelf life.
Research shows that squalane is non-irritating (even at 100% concentration).
In general, it's a fantastic ingredient. It does a great job at hydrating the skin, and it's suitable for those with sensitive skin.
The source of squalane may impact malassezia / fungal acne. This is because olive oil derived squalane can contain impurities such as fatty acids and plant waxes. Sugarcane derived squalane is recommended for anyone with malassezia concerns.
Is squalane vegan?
This depends on the source. Squalane can be derived from both plants and animals. Most squalane used in skincare comes from plants.
Please note: the source of squalane is only known if disclosed by the brand. We recommend reaching out to the brand if you have any questions about their squalane.

This isn't really a part of my regular routine right now, as my sunscreen acts as my moisturizer in the morning, and I use something more fancy / heavy duty in the evening - Isntree's Yam Root Cream.
However, there are random occasions that I just need a boost of moisture to my face, but I don't need it to be anything particularly special. This lotion is perfect for that. It has a simple, Show more

TLDR: If you're looking for a value vegan lip balm, don't use this. Use their stick version!
I experimented with using this as a lip balm, and was disappointed. I liked it at first, but after a few days, I realized it was slowly burning my lips, and I developed a bit of a crack in one of the corners of my mouth.
I did a bit of research, and as far as I can tell, on of the ingredients - Rhus Show more
