Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

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

Octyldodecanol

What it does: Emollient, Masking

Community Rating: Disliked

Octyldodecanol is a fatty alcohol. It is primarily used to enhance the texture of products.

As an emulsifier, Octyldodecanol helps prevent the oils and waters from separating. It also prevents ingredients from creating foam when shaken.

Octyldodecanol is created by reducing fatty acid to an alcohol.

Due to its high molecular weight, it does not get absorbed into the skin.

Squalane

What it does: Emollient, Skin Conditioning

Community Rating: Loved

Squalane is an emollient that helps the skin hold onto moisture. It's an oily liquid that occurs naturally in certain types of fish and plant oils.

Because squalane boosts hydration in the skin, it also comes with plenty of benefits: it is an antioxidant and can help fight free radicals and skin damage. Squalane is also found to have a detoxifying effect when applied.

Squalane comes from squalene, which occurs naturally within the sebum of our skin. It is one of the oils our skin produces to keep itself hydrated. Squalane is the hydrogenated version of squalene and has a longer shelf life.

Research shows that squalane is non-irritating (even at 100% concentration).

In general, it's a fantastic ingredient. It does a great job at hydrating the skin, and it's suitable for those with sensitive skin.

The source of squalane may impact malassezia / fungal acne. This is because olive oil derived squalane can contain impurities such as fatty acids and plant waxes. Sugarcane derived squalane is recommended for anyone with malassezia concerns.

Is squalane vegan? This depends on the source. Squalane can be derived from both plants and animals. Most squalane used in skincare comes from plants.

Please note: the source of squalane is only known if disclosed by the brand. We recommend reaching out to the brand if you have any questions about their squalane.

I use this on little cuts or on a popped pimple (when I can't help myself) but there's one other use I have for it: sebderm on the side of my nostrils. I honestly don't know how I figured it out but I was exhausted from trying things and also from the constant burning and itching, it affected me mentally. I was desperate enough to instinctively apply it on there in the hopes of getting relief: for a couple days nothing changed (but it wasn't worse!) so I doubled down and I applied it twice daily, in the AM and PM after washing the area. I lathered it on thick when the skin was still damp. After a while I noticed that I'm not itchy anymore. While it didn't completely remove it (I'd say it's 85% better), it's keeping it under control in terms of redness and itching/burning. Skin is still a bit rougher there but it's almost normal. No one would ever be able to tell apart from me. For me it's a win and I'll never stop using it.
