About this ingredient

Glycerin is a humectant derived from vegetable oils or synthetic sources that attracts and binds water to the skin, enhancing hydration and moisture retention. It is widely used in cosmetics and skincare products to soften skin, improve barrier function, and provide a smooth, supple feel without occlusive buildup.
