Why is there alcohol in the ingredient list? Isn't it drying?Updated 3 days ago
Alcohol in skincare can sometimes cause concern, but it's important to distinguish between different types.
The drying alcohols you might worry about, like SD alcohol, denatured alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol, are not used in our products. These types of alcohol can be harsh and are often found in products that focus on oil control, which may leave skin feeling dry or tight.
In contrast, our Daily Moisturizer contains cetearyl alcohol, a skin-friendly fatty alcohol that plays a key role in improving texture and stability. Fatty alcohols like cetearyl alcohol can help products feel rich and creamy, enhance their spreadability, and support hydration by preventing moisture loss. They are completely safe for all skin types, including dry or sensitive skin.
Additionally, our formulas include benzyl alcohol in low quantities as a preservative. Benzyl alcohol is a naturally occurring compound that helps keep products fresh and effective by preventing microbial growth, ensuring safety for your skin.
Rest assured, every ingredient we use is carefully selected to ensure your skin stays healthy and hydrated.
