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.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

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.

Oryza Sativa Bran Extract comes from the outer layer of a rice kernel. It is a byproduct of milling rice, or the operation to produce a whole grain rice product.

This ingredient has moisturizing properties due to its components of polysaccharides and omega-3 fatty acids. It also contains calcium, selenium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc.

Oryza Sativa Bran Extract contains numerous antioxidants such as ferulic acid. Antioxidants help fight free-radical molecules. Free-radical molecules are capable of damaging our cells and other genetic material.

This toner works so efficiently for my super sensitive, seborrheic dermatitis, and fungal acne skin. I have used it for a full year now, and I can't go back to anything else! My face has become so much plumper and bright compared to when I wasn't using this toner. My skin was quite dull and dry before, but this has given it so much glow and bounce! Since there are anti-fungal properties in this as Show more

Adds a level of plumpness to my skin that’s unattainable without it. The way my skin just feels so full after this, it’s hard to describe but without this toner it really feels like it lacks luster. I layer this on top of a soothing light toner and it absorbs into the skin so perfectly, it has a thicker milky texture and makes your skin feel full, the reason why I prefer it to I’m rice milk toner Show more
