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.

Studies show Cetearyl alcohol is non-toxic and non-irritating. The FDA allows products labeled "alcohol-free" to have fatty alcohols.

Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!! It's a Multi-Use Conditioner, meaning you can use it in more than one way. It's a standard rinse-out conditioner, deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner, curl cream/styling cream, pre-poo, detangler, and a refresh rehydrate cream for a total of SEVEN DIFFERENT WAYS!!! I currently mainly use it as my rinse-out conditioner and it's great! I'm still testing its other uses as it does utilize proteins which is great, however I also want to maintain a Protein/Moisture Balance for my hair so I'm still testing its other uses in relation to my other products without overusing proteins.
