- It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
- It helps improve product application.
- It has mild preservative properties.
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
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
Carbomer is a polymer of acrylic acid. Its main role is to create a gel consistency.
A high amount of carbomer can cause pilling or balling up of products. Don't worry, most products contain 1% or less of carbomer.

I got a sample of this and saw that it was FA safe and had no comedogenic or irritating ingredients so I tried it out. Only used it 4 times, but it was pretty obvious what a powerful humectant beta-glucan is. Just pure hydration and calm. Definitely buying the full size if I need the extra hydration. In this regard, it beats the skin1004 madagascar centella ampoule! (Still love that for beneficial Show more
Very hydrating, my must have product
Wow. I regret not buying this earlier. It's a somewhat thick serum that's very moisturizing and absorbs nicely into the skin,depending how much you use. I go heavy on this and put a full dropper on my face and it takes a while but it does sink in.
It has helped with my rosacea flareups and dry patches.
It's niacinamide free so it's a great hydrating Show more
