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.

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.

It says intensely nourishes dry skin but it severely dried mine and i tested it out to find out if it was this lotion and it was. I immediately stopped using it and I will reach put to Aveeno personally.
Not very moisturizing at all. Better lotions out there

Love this product there are some downs to me about it when I use it it is very melty but I think this overall is a good product
caused me severe, painful break outs and i’m not prone to major pimples. i was upset to see this doesn’t work because it feels extremely nice when applied and very hydrating
