Glycerin is a colorless, odorless liquid that is usually extracted from vegetable oils. It is a natural humectant which minimizes water loss due to evaporation and maintains the skin’s water balance on an intercellular level. It replenishes the skin’s moisture levels and provides nourishment to the skin.

Glycerin is known to be one of the most effective moisturizers; it acts as an emollient which keeps the skin moist, soft, and supple to touch. Enriched with moisturizing properties, it attracts moisture from the environment and traps it in the skin to make it appear healthy, smooth and soft. It deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin, while it improves the skin’s texture for a smoother appearance. A well hydrated skin delays the early signs of aging like appearances of fine lines, dark circles, and wrinkles. With its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps heal fungal infections, soothes inflamed and irritated skin and reduces blemishes for healthy looking skin. Glycerin is highly recommended for dry and sensitive skin as it is soothing, nourishing, and helps in wound healing. It also works as a natural cleanser as it removes accumulated dirt and grime from the skin, including blackheads. It increases epidermal layer thickness and improves barrier function. Its rejuvenating properties help renew damaged cells for healthier skin cells.
