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.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

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.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Love it
Started using this product recently as chemical sunscreens were stinging my eyes.

Overall, it's pretty great. No eye stinging and it doesn't seem to irritate my skin. It does leave a white cast however.

It's a bit pricy, so I might look into cheaper alternatives going forward.

(Tried May 2021) Came across this product back when I was actively searching for a sunscreen. My initial thoughts were that I found this to be a rather expensive purchase, considering the amount of product as well as it not being at least 50 SPF. However, I did find this to be very moisturizing, but didn't leave a dewy finish as much as I was hoping to. There was minimal white cast, but honestly there are other sunscreens that I'd rather recommend that are worth the price point.
