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.

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.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Great mask
I really like this mask. It's not drying and helps fight congestion.
My only complaint is that the little black fleks in it tend to go everywhere when you wash your face. 😅

An absolute MUST HAVE for sensitive skin
This mask is not only super hydrating and smoothing but also does a wonderful job of soothing irritation. I use this at least twice a week for general hydration support, or as needed to calm irritation from other products. The product is free of synthetic fragrances, and it has a light herbal smell. Texture-wise, it is sticky and a bit gritty (from the natural mugwort contained within), but I find the benefits far outweigh this. A word of caution: if you're allergic to birch pollen, do NOT use this mask, as mugwort is in the same family. When in doubt, patch test first on the inner forearm.

The texture of this mask is SO NICE! I love to spread it with the little spatula. I find it to have a strong scent, but nothing unbearable.

In terms of reaction, I do feel a slight tingling at the end of the 10 minutes I leave it...

In terms of reaction, I do feel a slight tingling at the end of the 10 minutes I leave it for, but it doesn't make my irritation worse. I just don't see it getting better either. For me, no drastic results/improvements.
The plus is that it does leave the skin hydrated and feeling fresh and doesn't break me out.
