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.

I have very sensitive skin. Allergic to many ingredients and fragrances. I also have rosacea and eczema. This is a holy grail face wash for me. I will only wash my face with this. It feels SO clean and zero irritation. My skin finally loves something !

Love this gel cleanser. It is so hydrating and doesn’t strip the skin, but I feel squeaky clean. I use this twice a day. Perfect ingredients for sensitive, acne prone skin. Not to mention the price point is perfect.
Love this cleanser so much! It has fast become my HG! It feels so comfortable and soothing, no feel of stripping at all and it gives my skin the most beautiful glow and softness. It also has no niacinamide (lol!)... I had way too many products in my routine with that ingredient.
