Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Emollient, Emulsifying, Emulsion Stabilising

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

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.

I used this product for my keratosis pilaris once or twice per week for several weeks. I followed the instructions and massaged the product onto wet skin, rinsed it off after a while, patted the skin dry, and followed with a moisturizer. I could tell it got a tad bit better directly after using the product, but unfortunately the effect didn't last long and I don't see any overall improvement after Show more
