The popularity of glycerin in the skin care industry is a refl ection of its comprehensive benefi t potential. One of the reasons it has become such a universally used ingredient is its compatibility with all skin types—dry, oily, sensitive, or somewhere in between. Glycerin can provide an array of benefi ts without causing irritation or aggravating skin conditions. Here are some of the benefi ts glycerin can provide your clients. Hydration Glycerin is a powerful humectant, a type of moisturizing agent that draws water into the outer layer of your skin from deeper layers and also from the air. By doing this, it helps maintain the skin's water balance on an intercellular level, ensuring the skin remains hydrated, soft, and supple. Barrier Protection and Repair By attracting moisture to the top layer of the skin, glycerin also plays a crucial role in reinforcing the skin's barrier. A healthy skin barrier protects against potential irritants and harmful microbes while also preventing moisture loss. Regular use of glycerin-containing products can help repair the skin's natural barrier, making it more resistant to external stressors. Encouraging a Smooth Appearance Hydration is a key player in healthy, vibrant skin. By providing hydration and improving barrier function, glycerin can help minimize the appearance of fi ne lines and wrinkles, granting the skin a smoother appearance. Accelerated Skin Healing By delivering and drawing moisture into the skin, glycerin not only infl uences mechanical properties of the skin but also encourages skin healing properties. Topical application improves skin properties in diseases with dry skin and epidermal impairment (like atopic dermatitis). It's also a benefi cial ingredient for skin conditions aff ected by environmentally infl uenced conditions (like winter xerosis). Regular use of glycerin-containing products can help repair the skin's natural barrier, making it more resistant to external stressors. INGREDIENT DECK
