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.

Definitely pretty on its own, but quite glittery. If you’re looking for something extremely subtle this might not be it for you. The main issue I encountered is that this formula wasn’t super forgiving for working with other products (moisturizers, sunscreens, foundations) tended to bunch up when combined with this. Overall still getting a lot of value from this, but it isn’t as versatile as other Show more
