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.

I double cleanse in the shower, and this wash is so gentle and hydrating with a beautiful foam. It doesn't irritate my dry, acne-prone skin and I can use it as a facial cleanser if I have to. Plus it's $22 for 1.25L not on sale, so it's incredible value.
