Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

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.

Peter Thomas Roth Therapeutic Sulfur Mask 16 ingredients
I love this mask! I use it as a rescue for my skin when I'm having both hormonal and fungal acne breakouts. If I end up popping anything, I can place this on top and it sucks the gunk out, similar to toothpaste but way better for my skin. I wish it came in sustainable packaging, and it's a bit pricey (but I can use my HSA!)
