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.

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.

This product did in fact cut my skin’s drying time by a little bit, but it simply wasn’t as moisturizing as I’d hoped. Slathering it on wasn’t the best experience either and I had to use a pretty hefty amount (a quarter size maybe?) to get my whole upper body. I say hefty because the bottle is not big enough for how much you have to get out for a single use. It did smell amazing though. Very fresh Show more
