Some animals, plants, and bacteria create trehalose as a source of energy to survive freeze or lack of water.

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.

Gentle yet effective exfoliation. Remember to use on clean, dry face to get better results. Would recommend and would repurchase.

Only thing is, my hands felt very dry immediately after using it while rinsing my hands but I have dishydrotic eczema and it never irritated luckily. The dry feeling went away as soon as I finished washing my hands and drying them off. Not much of an issue but a Show more
