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.

Clean product but still left my face feeling greasy
An affordable, no-nonsense mineral sunscreen, free of most allergens and irritants, great for those with sensitive skin. The sunscreen separates a bit so you must shake it before dispensing it into your hands. Unfortunately, my face still feels greasy and a bit sticky after I apply it, but I haven't yet found a sunscreen that doesn't feel this Show more

Not a bad product, but I also don't feel like it does much and I think it was irritating my skin somewhat when using it. I doubt their claim that it is OK for sensitive skin. Nice for light hydration, but I don’t think it did anything for my skin…
