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.

Excellent, fungal acne safe SPF for sensitive skin. Has a slightly odd smell, but if applied correctly (not layered immediately over other products, and only once toners and serums have dried down) it does not pill and leaves a fresh, dewy non-greasy glow. Can be delivered direct to the UK on a subscription.
