Star Ingredients - Panthenol (form of Vitamin B5 that moisturises, anti-inflammatory, repairs), Green Tea Leaf Extract (antimicrobial, antioxidant, hydrating, anti-inflammation), Sunflower Seed Oil (rich in antioxidants, soothing, unclogs pores, evens skin tone) What’s special about this formulation is that it has a lower pH, similar to that of healthy skin, so it helps to strengthen the skin barrier. It’s also awesome to see that it’s free of potential irritants like fragrance, artificial color, and parabens. Heavy duty as a moisturizer but still is very emollient and sits well under makeup (give it a few minutes to absorb into the skin first though)For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well. Formulation: Cruelty-free, mineral oil-free, free of color additives, synthetic perfume, parabens, harsh alcohols, common allergens, silicones or sulfates Most people will find no issues with sulfate, however if you find your skin doesn't like sulfates then free feel to avoid them by looking out for the sulfate-free icon on Skincarisma. The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

The Etude House SoonJung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream uses 93% naturally derived ingredients and as few ingredients as possible to balance, hydrate, and soothe skin. It has been tested to be non-comedogenic (doesn’t clog pores), and hypoallergenic.Ingredients: Water, Propanediol, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil,Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Cetearyl Alcohol,Panthenol, Madecassoside, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Potassium Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Butylene Glycol, Disodium Edta With a low pH formula and no irritants such as fragrance, artificial colours, and parabens, this Etude House Soon Jung 2x Barrier Intensive Cream will help to strengthen your skin against damage, stress, and many other environmental factors. However some sulfates are so good at their job, they can wash off your skin’s own natural oils that keep it moisturised and protected which can lead to dryness and irritation. There's still a lot of support for avoiding parabens following the better safe than sorry route. If you do we completely support you! The Soon Jung 2x Barrier Cream is one of the best go-to moisturizers I’ve ever tried (I have combo skin). It’s got a simple, clean ingredient list and is not irritating or comedogenic. How to use:

Cetearyl Alcohol : Emollient + Viscosity Controlling + Emulsifying + Surfactant/Cleansing + Emulsion Stabilising [non-drying alcohol] As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
