GLYCERIN
Safety grade: B
Glycerin is a clear, thick liquid that's naturally sweet and commonly used in many everyday products. It works as a humectant, meaning it pulls moisture from the air into your skin to keep it hydrated.
Glycerin is used in cosmetics to hydrate and soften skin and hair, improve product texture, mask unwanted odors, and protect the skin barrier while maintaining the right consistency of the product.
