Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Best cleanser for dehydrated skin!
With 50% glycerin, this is the best cleanser I’ve found for dehydrated skin. It’s smooth, gentle, and fragrance free. The texture is a little slimy which is fun but it still foams up very nicely.
