Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

I love this stuff.
Adorable brown bottle (if you're into brown) full of magic. Used up two bottles as a head-to-toe cleanser and it was instrumental in helping me initially clear my fungal acne. Saw vast improvements while using this gentle formula, in addition to eliminating other FA triggers from my routine. As a neat bonus, my hair loved this stuff too, and was silky and smooth after washing. I did eventually discontinue use because I'm no longer actively treating breakouts, and I'm somewhat wary of the environmental safety of the active ingredient, zinc pyrithione. I'll definitely repurchase and reassume use if my fungal acne ever flairs up in a bad way again though.
