Glycerin is a skin-identical, skin-repairing substance found naturally in the skin. It balances the skin's water levels to facilitate moisture and prevents premature moisture loss from cosmetics. It's popularly used in creams, ointments, lotions, body scrubs and soaps because it's 100% safe and gentle. As a natural humectant, it easily absorbs water from other sources. This makes it ideal for treating dry skin, including skin problems such as psoriasis and eczema, and it's also great for cleansing and moisturizing oily skin.
