Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.
You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.
Allantoin plays a role in soothing and moisturizing the skin. Because of this, it is often added to products with strong active ingredients.
Some studies have shown this ingredient can promote wound healing with higher concentrations.
Allantoin is derived from the comfrey plant but produced synthetically for cosmetic products to ensure purity.

Here's what our community thinks
Soul Apothecary Gentle Brightening Cleanser 18 ingredients
Bought this as a no frills, gentle cleanser that I can use when my skin is in terrible condition. No breakouts, has a faint nice smell, and has generally improved my skin condition. While I do like using the salicylic cleanser and it is still nice to use everyday, this is a safer pick as I know my skin will never get dry from it.
