Glycerin
Definition
Glycerin is a humectant that attracts moisture from the environment and helps to retain it in the skin. It has the ability to draw water into the outermost layer of the skin, improving hydration levels and preventing moisture loss, which is beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin. Glycerin also acts as an emollient, forming a protective layer on the skin's surface that helps to seal in moisture and keep the skin soft and smooth. Additionally, it has soothing properties and can help to calm and relieve irritated or inflamed skin.
