LANEIGE Water Bank Hydrating Gel vs. _Element Bakuchiol Face Serum (1)

Good for dry skin

Butylene Glycol is a very popular synthetic alcohol. It helps the product to absorb deeper and faster. It is also a solvent for other ingredients. As for the skin benefits, it helps to attract water and helps to make the skin softer.

chemical

Role: Solvent, Viscosity controlling agent

Origin:

chemical

Role: Skin conditioning agent, Emollient, Hair conditioning, Solvent

Silicones

EWG Rating [ 3 ]

CIR Rating [ A ]

Cyclopentasiloxane is a fluid silicone. It’s non-greasy and doesn’t have any scent or color. It evaporates pretty fast which makes this ingredient essential when it comes to making products that have to dry quickly. It also gives a nice silky feeling when you apply the product to the skin and hair. It leaves a thin film that protects the skin after evaporation.

Cyclopentasiloxane is chemically neutral, meaning it doesn’t react with other components.

Good for dry skin

Alcohols

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

LANEIGE Water Bank Hydrating Gel vs. _Element Bakuchiol Face Serum (4)

Bad for dry skin

Alcohol Denatured is a great bacteria killer. At the same time, it’s one of the most harmful alcohols you should use carefully, especially if you have dry skin. It removes oily barrier from your skin making it less protected and causing dryness. In general, if this ingredient stays below the 6th position it will hardly harm your skin. We recommend testing the product first before application. If you feel a “cooling effect” it means the product contains a lot of alcohol.
