Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
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.

Feels light on my skin. Been using this for a really long while now. Skins been good. Hydrating enough
I have combination skin. In the morning, I use this lotion to finish my routine. At night, when I use active ingredients like vitamins or retinol, I switch to a cream. The lotion has good spreadability, is gentle, and isn’t too greasy, so I’ve been using it comfortably.
