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!

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is an emollient, solvent, and texture enhancer. It is considered a skin-softener by helping the skin prevent moisture loss.

Within a product, Caprylic Triglyceride can thicken the product and make spreadability easier by dissolving clumping compounds. An added benefit of Caprylic Triglyceride is its antioxidant properties.

Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid. Caprylic Triglyceride has not been found to be toxic for human use in concentrations under 50%.

While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

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.

THE BEST THING I EVER BOUGHT
I have dry, sensitive skin. I hardly ever get acne, but everything I put on my face burns & I do have redness per my sensitivity. When I moved from CA to CO, my skin started peeling off layers and was so dry it hurt. This is the first product I bought during the beginning of the pandemic per tik tok & youtube videos of skin influencers. I was skeptical but I had nothing to lose. I went from using this once a week to almost every day. It's the only product I will forever repurchase. It is like a sigh of relief to my skin. It is so moisturizing, definitely heals my barrier and acne when I have a flare up from a product that did not work & is becoming something I use every morning because I love how it makes my skin look/feel. Other reviews say it has a bad smell, I love the smell. It gives hints of almond and natural vibes. I love it so much and want everyone to have this in their routine if they struggle with dry/sensitive skin. It even has ceramides for anti-aging! 1000% recommend.
