Glycerin
General properties
Glycerin is the gold standard dermatological moisturizing agent. As a humectant, it attracts and retains water in the skin, ensuring optimal hydration. This helps maintain the skin's moisture balance and improves its softness and elasticity. Furthermore, glycerin has soothing properties, reducing irritation and contributing to the protection of the skin barrier.
The properties of the ingredients in different formulations depend on their content and specific use.
