Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Dimethicone Crosspolymer is a silicone created by modifying dimethicone with hydrocarbon side chains. Due to its large size, it does not penetrate skin. It is considered non-occlusive.
Dimethicone Crosspolymer is used to stabilize and thicken products. It also helps give products a silky feel.
Silica is a mineral naturally found in our skin. It helps to thicken and smooth the texture of a product. It also acts as an agent for other ingredients by increasing the absorption of other ingredients into the skin.
Silica is often used for absorption and can help reduce shine when products are applied. Silica occurs in naturally in materials like clay and sandstone, and it can also be produced synthetically.
Silica is present naturally within the skin during collagen production and when reducing inflammation.

Lightweight, does well with sun protection! Initially I was skeptical of if the silicones would clog my acne-prone skin’s pores, but it hasn’t broken me out at all. In fact, sometimes when I rub it in, I get sebaceous filaments on my hands as residue! So in my case it’s provided some kind of exfoliation. I’ve only used this product in the winter but I’m certain it’s just as effective in warmer Show more
