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.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Studies show products formulated with NMF ingredients help strengthen our skin's barrier. Having a healthy skin barrier reduces irritation and increases hydration. Our skin barrier is responsible for having plump and firm skin. It also helps protect our skin against infection, allergies, and inflammation.

Your skin barrier is responsible for keeping allergens and microbes out. Having a healthy skin barrier is also responsible for keeping your skin firm and plump.

where are the people that talk about this moisturizer? hello??? well, i'm happy that no one talks about the prebiotic-cera cream, ngl... the lab by blanc doux has easily became one of my favorite skincare brands and this together with the oligo hyaluronic acid toner are my favs from the brand. this cream feels super moisturizing, calming, soothing and just overall so good on my skin while having a not too thick texture. i didn't break out from the cream and it doesn't feel greasy or heavy on my skin. the glow and plump this cream gives u throughout the whole day is outta this world. i think if u have oily and acne prone skin, it might be too moisturizing and glowy for u. great for dry, normal, combo and dull skin for both morning and night. there is literally nothing more to say than this being my fav moisturizer, i mean there's a reason why i marked it as my holy grail. easily 5 outta 5 stars.

it's an okay milky toner, which is expensive for only 150ml. it doesn't have any fragrance to it but its own smell (?) and it took a while to absorb into my skin. i didn't see much improvement in my skin's health or barrier support after constant use. i also did notice a few more clogged pores after using this, so it sadly didn't workout for me.
