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.

Godawful packaging. That alone takes off two stars.
The gel cream itself has a nice consistency and is lightweight. My skin looks less dull when I use this cream and feels hydrated. It absorbs okay, it leaves a very thin film which makes my skin feel soft. The thin film doesn't bother me until later in the day, when my skin feels a bit oilier especially around my nose.

Very lightweight and moisturizing. Is a bit sticky and smells weird
I never go without this! I've been using this for years and always keep this stocked up. I even carry a travel size with me if I need to feel refreshed. Feels good when I'm feeling a bit dry or for a little refresh in the heat. 🫶
