Benefits of Vegetable Glycerin

• Powerful humectant: glycerin (glycerol, a 3-carbon triol) is one of the most effective known humectants -- it attracts and retains water molecules from the environment in the superficial layers of the skin (epidermis).
• Strengthens the skin barrier function: glycerin stimulates keratinocyte differentiation and improves the structure of the hydrolipidic film, reinforcing the skin barrier against external aggressions.
• 100% natural vegetable origin.

INCI Composition

Soluble in water and alcohol. Not soluble in oil (to be added to the aqueous phase). Not tested on animals. 200ml bottle.

How to use Vegetable Glycerin?

Recommended dosage: 1 to 5% of the total preparation weight. Above 10% (and especially in leave-on products), the effect is reversed and can be drying. Add to the aqueous phase. Use in creams, lotions, shower gels, shampoos, aqueous serums, and masks.
