What it does

Glycerin (glycerol) is a naturally derived polyol that is one of the most effective and well-studied humectants in cosmetic science. It draws moisture from the air and deeper skin layers to the stratum corneum, and also strengthens the skin barrier by facilitating aquaporin water channel activity. Present in virtually every well-formulated moisturiser.
