Vegetable Glycerin

It is also known as Glycerol, is a natural humectant derived from plant oils, typically palm, soy, or coconut oil. It is a clear, odorless, and sweet-tasting liquid that is widely used in skincare for its hydrating, soothing, and skin-conditioning properties.

Benefits in Skincare:

• Deep Hydration: As a humectant, Vegetable Glycerin draws moisture from the environment and helps to retain it in the skin, keeping the skin hydrated and preventing dryness. It is especially beneficial for dry, dull, or dehydrated skin.

• Skin Softening and Smoothing: Vegetable Glycerin helps soften the skin by providing moisture, making the skin feel smooth and plump. It can also improve the texture of the skin, giving it a more supple and youthful appearance.

• Supports Skin Barrier Function: By helping the skin retain moisture, Vegetable Glycerin strengthens the skin's natural barrier, protecting it from external irritants and pollutants.

• Soothing and Calming: It has gentle, soothing properties that can help alleviate skin irritation, making it suitable for sensitive or inflamed skin. It is often used in formulations for conditions like eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis.

• Non-Comedogenic: Unlike some heavier moisturizers, Vegetable Glycerin is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores, making it suitable for use in skincare products for oily and acne-prone skin.

• Enhances the Efficacy of Other Ingredients: Vegetable Glycerin helps to enhance the penetration of other active ingredients into the skin, improving their effectiveness.

Vegetable Glycerin is a versatile and effective ingredient for keeping the skin hydrated, soft, and smooth. Its gentle, non-irritating nature makes it suitable for a wide range of skin types, and it is often included in moisturizing, soothing, and anti-aging skincare products.
