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.

Allies of Skin Molecular Silk Amino Hydrating Cleanser 32 ingredients
I personally think this cleanser ticks all the things I want in a cleanser. It has a thick, rich, gel texture that has a lot of slip to it, and it feels so so nice on the skin. Despite the thicker consistency, it rinses off really easily without leaving my skin feeling greasy and gross. It doesn’t strip or dry out my skin and is enough for a single cleanse!
The Molecular Silk Amino Hydrating Cleanser is just a really good cleanser. It removes makeup effortlessly while still leaving my skin feeling hydrated, soft, and never stripped. The texture is luxurious, and it rinses clean without any residue. Perfect for anyone looking for an effective yet gentle cleanser that supports the skin barrier. Definitely a staple in my routine!
