VEGETABLE GLYCERINE.

Benefits of Glycerin:

1. Glycerin moisturizes – Not only does glycerin moisturize the skin, it pulls moisture up from the lower levels of the skin (the dermis) to the upper levels (the epidermis), essentially allowing the skin to help moisturize itself.
2. Glycerin creates a calming sensation – Plant-based glycerin is extraordinarily gentle on sensitive skin and can help alleviate temporary skin discomfort.
3. Glycerin protects – By helping to maintain the skin’s protective layer of moisture, glycerin creates a barrier between the skin and elements that can harm it.
4. Glycerin smooths the skin – Its hydrating properties help create a smoother looking appearance to the skin.
5. Glycerin exfoliates – Yes, even though it’s a moisturizer, glycerin does play a role in the exfoliation process, helping to improve skin’s radiance.
6. Glycerin brightens – Between glycerin’s rejuvenating properties and its ability to moisturize, glycerin plays a key role in keeping skin looking bright and luminous!
7. Glycerin improves your complexion – Glycerin is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores!
8. Glycerin can be combined with other ingredients – One of the great things about glycerin is that it works well with so many other ingredients to add moisture.
9. Glycerin has anti-aging benefits – By bringing your skin’s natural moisture to the surface, glycerin helps to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
10. Glycerin acts as a natural preservative – When used in skincare products, it can be used as a preservative and solvent in products with herbal and botanical extracts.
