Glycerin – natural moisture-retaining ingredient

Glycerin is an extremely versatile, naturally derived humectant widely used in skincare, haircare, and DIY cosmetic products.
Its primary function is to attract and retain moisture on the surface of the skin and hair, providing long-lasting hydration and improving skin softness and elasticity.

What is glycerin good for?

• Provides intensive hydration for dry, dehydrated skin.

• Helps restore the skin’s natural protective barrier.

• Prevents skin dryness and flaking.

• Enhances moisture levels in hair, making it softer and shinier.

• Increases the creaminess and spreadability of cosmetic products.

How to use it:

• Add 2–5% glycerin to moisturizing creams, body lotions, or face mists for enhanced hydration.

• Use 1–3% in haircare products (e.g., hair sprays, hair masks) to boost hair softness and moisture.

• In DIY cosmetics, combine with other water-based ingredients (e.g., floral waters, aloe vera gel).

• Always use glycerin diluted with water or water-containing ingredients, as applying it pure may dehydrate the skin.

Why is glycerin practical?

• Easy to use, stable, water-soluble ingredient.

• Hypoallergenic, safe for sensitive skin.

• A natural moisturizer available in versions free from synthetic additives.

• Easily incorporated into almost any homemade or professional skincare formula.
