INCI Name: Glycerin
Glycerin is a highly effective humectant, widely used in skincare for its ability to attract and retain moisture in the skin. By drawing water into the outer layers, it helps keep the skin hydrated, soft, and smooth. Glycerin strengthens the skin's natural barrier, reducing water loss and protecting against dryness and irritation. Its gentle, non-irritating nature makes it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Regular use of glycerin can improve skin elasticity, enhancing overall skin resilience and texture.
