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.

I would say this is pretty good I like the scent to it and it pretty hydrating too. I have really dry skin and I think this product works well but you need a moisturizer.
Pixi Beauty Petra Rose Tonic 23 ingredients
i wouldn’t say it’s extremely good or bad, it’s just a toner that i bought as an alternative for the Glow Tonic (also from PIXI) that was starting to hurt my skin more than anything. This one is very refreshing and also gives some glow, perfect to wash off the night’s impurities. It’s not revolutionary, but it does its job !
Rose is definitely not for my skin!
