• Preservatives and conditioners (Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, o-Cymen-5-ol) — support product safety and skin compatibility.

Usage and who it’s for

It’s suitable for problematic and sensitive skin and can help address dullness and fine lines with a finished, satin look. If you’re applying to children under 6 months, consult a doctor before use.
