What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

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.

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.

Perfect for sensitive skin. The rose version tends to irritate (me personally) skin. Minimum ingredients (7) versus many other makeup removers I've seen, and good for hydration due to glycerin (for sensitive & dry skin.).

It Do Be Burnin!
I had previously been using samples of Simple Micellular water that were around 3 years old (Bad mistake- they were just what I had), which worked wonderfully. I tried this one instead because I could not find the one I was using when I went into Target. This left my skin stinging until it dried, which was usually 5/10 minutes. I kept using it for a few days to see if it stopped but returned it in the end at the advice of my friends.
