Skin Conditioning, Solvent

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!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Masking, Skin Conditioning

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.

I really wanted to use this, but sadly it was quite irritating for my skin and just made it redder (I believe I am allergic to centella). However, I gave it to my boyfriend likes it, it helps with redness a lot. It is nicely hydrating, and it does have an interesting moderately-strong floral scent, which I was not expecting. It also has a nice texture and spreads very smoothly. I can't really Show more

I haven’t fully put this to the test in terms of effectiveness blocking the sun, but really like how light this is, color is subtle but good, and I didn’t break out! I gave it to my mom, sister, stepmom and sis-in-law last Christmas and they all loved it too.

I liked this product because it did provide a nice tint to my skin, so I recommend it at least for the olive skin girlies. It initially feels greasy but dries down. I do dislike how thin it is, but it doesn’t pill under my makeup.
