Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse.Â
It is a:
- Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
- Emollient, helping to soften skin
- Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
- Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservativesÂ
Sodium Hydroxide is also known as lye or caustic soda. It is used to adjust the pH of products; many ingredients require a specific pH to be effective.
In small amounts, sodium hydroxide is considered safe to use. However, large amounts may cause chemical burns due to its high alkaline.
Your skin has a natural pH and acid mantle. This acid mantle helps prevent harmful bacteria from breaking through. The acid mantle also helps keep your skin hydrated.
"Alkaline" refers to a high pH level. A low pH level would be considered acidic.

Comparing this to experiments super saturated, it comes in a larger bottle made of glass. But they are very similar! I like how Prequel shares the pH level.
This appears to be the only moisturizer I can use that doesn't break me out or inflame me. I am still a tiny bit dry but that is to be expected without any emollients and I am not going to rock the boat and add anything at this moment. I avoid ingredients in almost everything marketed toward "sensitive skin" including niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, so I was thrilled to find this one.
