Vegetable Glycerine (Pure Glycerol)

Description

Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a natural compound derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. It’s a clear, colorless, odorless, and syrupy liquid with a sweet taste. Glycerin is a humectant, a type of moisturizing agent that pulls water into the outer layer of your skin from deeper levels of your skin and the air.

In skin care products, glycerin is commonly used with occlusives, another type of moisturizing agent, to trap the moisture it draws into the skin. glycerin is “the most effective humectant” available to increase hydration on the top layer of your skin, in comparison with numerous others, including: alpha hydroxy acids, like lactic acid and glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, propylene glycol and butylene glycol, sorbitol, urea.

Glycerine is also involved in the transportation and activity of aquaporins within the skin’s surface. Aquaporins are proteins that channel the flow of vital hydrating substances (including water & glycerol) to your skin’s top layers. They play a key role in maintaining the moisture balance and helping your skin feel smooth and comfortable, even in drier climates.

Glycerine is considered a non-allergenic, fragrance-free ingredient. It has a long history of safe use for the skin. Vegetable glycerin is used as a humectant, solvent and emmolient in cosmetic formulations.
