Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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.
Learn more about GlycerinButylene 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.
- 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.
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 preservatives
Sodium Hyaluronate is hyaluronic acid's salt form. It is commonly derived from the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid.
Like hyaluronic acid, it is great at holding water and acts as a humectant. This makes it a great skin hydrating ingredient.
Sodium Hyaluronate is naturally occurring in our bodies and is mostly found in eye fluid and joints.
These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid:

Slurp Decalt 27 ingredients
TL;DR: Very gentle, and one bottle lasts forever. Might not be strong enough for those who have more persistent acne.
This is my second bottle of Decalt, so I can attest one bottle lasts about 6-8 months, making it a really good value at $58/150mL. It is very gentle on my sensitive skin, but I find I need something stronger for my acne. I think if your acne is mild or you’re already acne-free Show more
Slurp Niacid 18 ingredients
TL;DR: Makes me oily and can sting a bit. Breaks me out SOMETIMES, but helped with scarring.
This is the ONLY Slurp product I don't 100% love. Sometimes it breaks me out into cysts, sometimes it doesn't. I had good results with some acne scarring on it, but it also made me feel a bit oily. It can sting on a compromised skin barrier for a split second, but it's never overly irritating. Because I Show more
UPDATE: it contains butylene glycol! If you use actives that affect your skin barrier, please restrain from using it. Also many Korean products use it. Hence layering it with other products might cause irritation!
Funny enough, that’s actually the only serum by Slurp that I do like. It absorbs fast and I do feel like my skin feels better afterwards. So I do think it helps the skin barrier. Show more
