Ingredients Explained

  1. 01These ingredients are found in both products.
  2. 02Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
  3. 031,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse.
  4. 04It is a:
  5. 05Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
  6. 06Emollient, helping to soften skin
  7. 07Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
  8. 08Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives
  9. 09Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
  10. 10Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
  11. 11Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.
  12. 12Tromethamine (aka THAM) is a synthetic amino acid that shows up in skincare as a helper ingredient.
  13. 13It functions as a pH adjuster to help neutralize acidic ingredients and set a formula's pH to the right spot.
  14. 14This matters a lot because a lot of actives (like vitamin C) needs a specific pH to work well and feel comfortable on skin.
  15. 15Concentration use ranges from 0.1-1.0% depending on the formula.
  16. 16Water. 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.
  17. 17So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
  18. 18You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Remember to stay hydrated!
