Hydrating skin with vegetable glycerin’s humectant properties

Hypoallergenic and gentle: The ideal choice for sensitive skin

It’s gentle and hypoallergenic. Vegetable glycerin is a component of glycerin soap, a life-saver for individuals with very sensitive skin. It keeps skin moist by attracting water both from within the body and the surrounding air, and then helps retain it.

Vegetable glycerin in massage oils: Soothing and effective

It can enhance absorption of other cosmetic ingredients thanks to its hygroscopic properties. This makes it a great massage oil, because it’s water soluble and washes off easily. Also, it can support the unique properties of other moisturizers and essential oils.
