What is glycerin?

Properties and benefits of glycerin

It is a compound that, due to its molecular structure, has a hygroscopic nature: it helps absorb moisture. On the skin, glycerin helps protect it from damage thanks to its occlusive-emollient properties, hydrates the skin, and acts as a humectant. It helps prevent transepidermal water loss and retains water in the skin.
