What does glycerin do for skin?
Glycerin is a humectant, which means it draws moisture into the skin rather than just sitting on the surface. That is why it is a staple of dry skin care. Our brightening glycerins pair it with plant extracts to help even the look of skin tone. Read our guides to glycerin benefits for skin, pure glycerin and glycerin with plant extracts. For body moisture see our brightening body lotion.
