Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
This ingredient is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.
It helps thicken a product's formula and makes it easier to spread by dissolving clumping compounds.
Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.
Learn more about Caprylic/Capric TriglycerideMica refers to a group of silicate minerals. Mica crystals are easily split to give products a shimmer. These crystals are able to reflect light to temporarily give your skin a glowy look.
Mica is found to be safe. Trace amounts of heavy metals may be found in mica, but these metals are not harmful in our personal products.
Mica has been used since prehistoric times throughout the world. Ancient Egyptian, Indian, Greek, Roman, Aztec, and Chinese civilizations have used mica.
Mica can be naturally found throughout the world. However, some sources of mica may be controversial. In 2016, mica mined in the Jharkhand state in India was found to be using child labor. However, companies are able to source ethical mica affiliated with international organizations that monitor the mica supply chain.

I broke out immediately.
Absolutely love! Smooths my skin texture, gives a nice and natural glow. Not shiny or glittery like some luminescence. Makes my skin feel incredibly soft all day. It’s a great primer.

lifts and makes me break out
When applying, it interacts weird with foundation and lifts. This leaves weird splotches, especially on my nose. Breaks me out on my cheekbones. Not for oily skinned people.
it's a gorg shimmery highlighter, looks amazing on the skin, but it disturbs foundation underneath, so i use this very carefully/on bare skin. it's really pretty though! i have yet to find a better liquid highlighter <3
