What does Hawaiian Moon lead with?

Hawaiian Moon's ingredients page lists aloe vera first, under the label name (the name printed on the ingredient list) "Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera)." Its FAQ says the cream "can actually be used everywhere." Its about page calls it "a family owned and operated company."

What does Corium 21 lead with?

Certified organic aloe vera is the first ingredient, listed ahead of water. Corium 21 also has vitamins A, B3 and E, soluble collagen (a protein that forms a smooth film on skin), plant oils (rose hip oil and corn oil), and green tea, chamomile and ginseng extracts.

It absorbs well and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth, not greasy, so you can use it any time of day. See every ingredient on our Ingredients page.
