Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

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. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.

In products that are water-based, this ingredient can help stabilize perfumes and fragrances. It can also help make the texture of products softer and more smooth.

Community Rating: Mixed

Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

  • It is a solvent, meaning that it helps to dissolve other ingredients. This also enhances the absorption of the product into one's skin.
  • It is a humectant, which means that it helps attract moisture into the skin.
  • It helps improve product application.

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient. It is unlikely to irritate skin, and works well with pretty much all other ingredients.

my second favorite toner pad of all time!! it's very soothing, hydrating and calming without irritating or hurting your skin in and way. there are no ingredients, that are standing out in any war or make the product special and/or unique which i'm kinda not liking. the pad is really gentle and shouldn't show any stripping, irritation or hurting when it's swiped across the face. there is no fragrance detectable or anything off about the toner pads. i recommend putting them into the fridge before using them to get a cooling and refreshing "experience" especially if u have sensitive and/or irritated skin. using them as a lil sheet mask to get the soothing benefits of the toner and let your skin calm down is my fav way of using them. the price i payed for the toner pads was imo kinda expensive (around 30 euros) and i'm always on the hunt to get them for much cheaper. i will always restock these toner pads, especially when my skin is acting up and needs to be humbled - would recommend them for any skin type. sensitive, irritated and inflammed skin would benefit the most imo!! 4.5 outta 5 stars
