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.

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 prefer this lotion for my night time routine and someone with primarily oily skin. This sunscreen is very hydrating and doesn’t feel heavy as the last step of my skin care routine. I wouldn’t recommend it for day time use because it definitely gives the skin a shiny look.

Good, but not for me.
Purchased after I damaged my barrier and needed something simple- Texture is nice & light, not at all greasy or heavy. No scent. Does not leave me shiney or oily. But not heavy enough for my current dry skin & needs to be reapplied after a few hours.... I do for the most part really like this moisturizer, but will not be repurchasing after seeing the product info.

This is the best lip balm ever. Using it once before bed keeps my lips soft and hydrated for hours and hours, minimising my daytime lip balm use, if I skip it for a few days I'm more likely to get peeling lips. I always stock up when I or my family or friends go to the USA.

Pro tip: cut open the tube when you think it's finished. I have used a cut-open tube since September 2023 (it's now March 2024) and there is PLENTY left. Shout out to Tana Mongeau for introducing me to this.
