Glycerin makes it possible to retain and bind water. It can absorb up to 25% of its own weight in water and then hold it in the outermost layers of the skin. This can effectively reduce moisture loss.
Because it is colorless and odorless, it is particularly well suited for use in cosmetics.
Where does glycerin come from?
Glycerin can basically be obtained from animal fats or vegetable oils, such as palm oil or rapeseed oil.
We use only vegetable glycerin in our products
What is glycerin used for?
Glycerin is one of the most commonly used ingredients in cosmetics. This is because its moisturizing properties and its ability to increase the skin's suppleness make it relevant for a wide range of products. Glycerin is also frequently used in pharmaceuticals.
