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.

Nothing but positive things to say about this cleanser. One of my favorite aspects of this product is that it foams up so well! I was very impressed with how much it lathers w/very little product. So you'll definitely get your money's worth. I also love how it doesn't feel stripping on my face so it makes for a nice gentle yet effective cleanser for my oily skin. It also does a pretty solid job at Show more

Its texture is like jelly, which makes it difficult to create foam and ended up using either too much or too little each time. It feels light and doesn’t irritate the skin. I find it a bit expensive, though. For reference, I have dry to normal skin.

I really like this cleanser. It's nice to use with my sensitive, dry skin, and it doesn't leave me feeling squeaky clean, which is nice. I bought it on sale for about $5 CDN, so for a reasonable sale price, it's a lovely cleanser. I took one star off because it has a powerful smell of mugwort.
