Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

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!

Masking

Chances are, you eat sodium chloride every day. Sodium Chloride is also known as table salt.

This ingredient has many purposes in skincare: thickener, emulsifier, and exfoliator.

You'll most likely find this ingredient in cleansers where it is used to create a gel-like texture. As an emulsifier, it also prevents ingredients from separating.

There is much debate on whether this ingredient is comedogenic. The short answer - comedogenic ratings don't tell the whole story. Learn more about comegodenic ratings here.

The concensus about this ingredient causing acne seems to be divided. Research is needed to understand if this ingredient does cause acne.

Scrubs may use salt as the primary exfoliating ingredient.

I have been faithful to this for years. Sure I’m more conservative than most because of my sensitive skin but this product just works and leaves me with no regrets. My dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin has no complaints about this.

Cleans well without being stripping and you can get it at quite affordable prices these days, at least for size value. I think it’s even moisturising without Show more

it’s decent, served me well initially but after my skin barrier was compromised because of the weather, it hurt a lot to wash my face with this but it does help to keep it clean and haven’t experienced breaking out with it. will probably switch to a more gentle one for my skin type though

Can't believe it contains SLS
I have dishydrotic eczema (on my hands), so I wanted to use some eczema-friendly shower gel/cream. I've chosen this product because it's recommended for atopic skin, so I didn't even check the ingredients list. Only now I see that it contains SLS, after I used the whole bottle... But now I know this site and i won't buy anything before checking the whole ingredients Show more
