What is glycerin?
Glycerin is a clear, odorless, syrup like natural compound that is derived from vegetable or animal fat. It is an effective natural humectant which means it draws moisture to the top layer of the skin from the air and the lower layers of the skin.
Why Should you Use Glycerin?
It moisturizes, calms, tightens, firms, protects, smooths, exfoliates, and brightens skin. It is anti-aging and improves your complexion.
