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 cleanser is the only one that i’ve found that didn’t dry out my skin,, despite it containing SLS, it’s gentle on my skin and cleanses effectively. I would really recommend if you have sensitive or dry skin and even though it is on the pricier side,, one bottle lasts me about 3 months ―୨୧⋆ ˚
