So much! 

Other face oils contain these ingredients - 'no-nos' in Simplicite products:

David won’t use - alcohol as it dries and hardens the upper layer of the skin. This reduces the absorption of nutrients and also reduces the rate of elimination of the skin’s own metabolic wastes.
He also won’t use hydrogenated oils, especially peanut oil and hydrogenated hazelnut oil
(Clarins is one company which uses this type of hazelnut oil in its face oil products.)

 Hydrogenated means that these plant oils now contain trans fats and are on their way to being made into margarine. These oils increase the rate of ageing of the skin. That's the opposite effect that we expect from skin care products!
And David will never use Propylene glycol - it's drying to the skin and causes flaking - or Dimethicone/Simethicone/PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) - silicone compounds used in furniture and floor polish and to give shine to car dash-boards (‘Amoural’). They may actually increase the rate of ageing even though they might temporarily ‘plump’ any fine lines in the skin.
