What surprised me the most about this is how non-runny of a product this is, especially in contrast to most essences (even similar milky essence). This makes it surprisingly easy to use, and a great way to add in more barrier boosting ingredients. ...I absolutely love this essence. The list of ingredients is excellent. The consistency is slightly thicker than most essences, which, in my opinion, makes it so much easier to use.
