- Feel & finish
- Our take
- Having a real moment, and the barrier argument for it isn't silly, properly purified, it's a genuine occlusive. It's also on the pore-clogging lists, it isn't vegan, and quality varies enormously by source. Fine on dry body skin; we wouldn't put it on a face that breaks out.

- Best for
