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.

Caprylic Triglyceride is made by combining glycerin with coconut oil, forming a clear liquid.
While there is an assumption Caprylic Triglyceride can clog pores due to it being derived from coconut oil, there is no research supporting this.

EOP stands for a linked Ester fatty acid, a linked Omega hydroxy fatty acid, and the Phytosphingosine base.
Ceramides are intercellular lipids naturally found in our skin. They bind dead skin cells together to create a barrier. The ceramides in our skin have the ability to hold water to keep our skin hydrated.

Pyunkang Yul Black Tea Deep Infusion Toner 74 ingredients
This viscous toner has been excellent for my mature sensitive skin. I use it morning and evening. Its ingredients include glycerin, Niacinamide, several ceramides and a peptide. There is silicone in it but it is number 69 out of 73 ingredients. The elegant bottle/packaging and the price point for its quality make it a great value.
It absorbs well and feels very hydrating after using it for about 2 months now. It’s definitely one of my favorite tonersz
