Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

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.

Amlactin Intensive Healing Lotion With 15% Lactic Acid 22 ingredients
My KP texture disappeared a little over two weeks using this 3x a week. Moisturized well (for someone who doesn’t suffer from dryness at least). One star off for the smell. I don’t find it particularly off-putting compared to other users, but I can understand why it’s pungent. To me, it smells like rice, but to my relatives, it smells like rice drenched in soy sauce.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOISTURISER FOREVER!!!
I've been using it for 3 years and all I could say it is a magic, It really keeps my body hydrated for the longest,i completely feel myself so softy. Just make sure not to expose yourself to the sun when you use it.
