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!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

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.

Humectant, Skin Conditioning

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:

I've been using this for long enough now to confirm it's really working. I bought it because it's FA safe, non comedogenic and because of the few ingredients and the fact it's packed with ceramides. I have very sensitive, reactive skin and it doesn't irritate it. It's very gentle, hydrating and calming. This one foams just a little, so if you like lots of foam, it isn't for you. I don't feel Show more

Umm been using 1 week and think it may be my HG! Leaves my combo acne prone sensitive skin feeling soft and has not broken me out โ€” not sure if I can provide updates but very happy I found this since my skin is reactive to everything it seems like and if it doesnโ€™t break me out then it causes redness. Pls never reformulate ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ for my sensitive skin friends Iโ€™d say this is worth a try even for $20 Show more

I have very sensitive skin. Allergic to many ingredients and fragrances. I also have rosacea and eczema. This is a holy grail face wash for me. I will only wash my face with this. It feels SO clean and zero irritation. My skin finally loves something !
