Glycerin

What is glycerin?

Glycerin, or glycerol, is a clear, odourless liquid found naturally in fats and oils. It is also one of the substances the skin uses to keep itself hydrated. In skincare, it is valued as a humectant: an ingredient that draws water to the skin's surface layers and helps hold it there. Ours is plant-derived.

How it looks and feels on skin

• Helps skin attract and hold on to moisture, so it feels hydrated, soft and smooth.
• Helps skin feel supple and comfortable, even in dry winter air.
• By keeping skin hydrated, helps support the skin barrier.
• Gentle and well tolerated, for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
