GLYCERETH-26

Safety grade: A

This is a modified form of glycerin, a thick, clear liquid that's been chemically treated to make it work better in skincare products. It's designed to absorb moisture from the air and help keep skin hydrated.

Glycereth-26 acts as a humectant to draw moisture into the skin and helps control how thick or thin a product feels, making formulations easier to apply and more pleasant to use.
