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. 03Diisostearyl Malate is an emollient and most often used in lip products. It comes from isostearyl alcohol, a fatty acid, and malic acid, an AHA.
  4. 04As an emollient, Diisostearyl Malate helps create a thin film on your skin to trap moisture in. This helps keep your skin soft and smooth.
  5. 05Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is a synthetic polymer. Polymers are compounds with high molecular weight. Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is an emollient and texture enhancer.
  6. 06In one study, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene showed better skin hydration levels than Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. As an emollient, it helps keep your skin soft and hydrated by trapping moisture in.
  7. 07Hydrogenated Polyisobutene is often used as a mineral oil replacement.
  8. 08Microcrystalline Wax is derived from petroleum through a de-oiling process, then highly refined and purified before use in cosmetics.
  9. 09In skincare formulations, it is used to improve texture and create a smooth, even consistency. It also helps stabilize products by preventing ingredients from separating.
  10. 10Octyldodecanol is a fatty alcohol sourced from plant oils like coconut or palm (or made synthetically).
  11. 11It is:
  12. 12You'll likely see this in many BHA products because this is the go-to solvent for salicylic acid.
  13. 13This ingredient is typically used at levels between 2-20%.
  14. 14Regarding fungal acne: In 2019, this ingredient was tested against multiple Malassezia species (the yeast that causes fungal acne) and showed no growth.
  15. 15Polybutene is used to help control the viscosity of a product. This just means it helps adjusts the texture.
  16. 16It is a polymer and does not get absorbed into the skin due to its large size.
  17. 17Studies found this ingredient did not irritate skin in concentrations below 15%.
  18. 18Synthetic Wax is a manufactured hydrocarbon wax. In formulas, it works as an occlusive emollient that helps reduce water loss and improves the spreadability of products.
  19. 19Research comparing synthetic wax to traditional mineral-derived products found that formulas containing it perform as well for skin hydration.
  20. 20It is considered non-comedogenic and vegan-friendly.
