Most of the moisturizing creams we use (especially creams) contain mostly glycerin because of its low cost and good moisturizing properties.

But you will find that few products use glycerin alone as the main moisturizing ingredient, because its good water absorption is bi-directional, it can absorb moisture from the air to moisturize the skin, it can also absorb water from the skin, so glycerin is not suitable for It is not recommended to use glycerin for long-term use in dry climates, such as long-term work in dry air-conditioned rooms or long-term outdoor work in dry climates in the northeast, which in turn leads to skin dehydration. Because of this, most of the cosmetics will not only add glycerin to moisturize, when purchasing, do not simply think that the higher the purity of the product use the better, and choose pure glycerine cosmetics.

In addition, since glycerin has the effect of being soft, lubricity, and preventing dryness, the body lotion, hand care product, and makeup remover product that we use will feel very smooth after use, and there will also be glycerin.

If you see “glycerin” or “glycerin” in the ingredient list, you can basically understand that it has a certain moisturizing effect.
