Vegan Glycerin
What is Vegan Glycerin?
This natural moisturizing ingredient is also present in the outermost layer of our skin. Derived from coconut oil or soy, it is one of the most recognized humectants. It is obtained through the hydrolysis of fats, which releases esters and glycerin.
Properties of Vegan Glycerin
Glycerin is a completely safe and effective molecule due to its biocompatibility with our skin, as glycerol is naturally found in it. It softens and smoothens the skin. As a humectant, it increases the skin's ability to retain water; more glycerin means more water in the skin and greater hydration. Among its properties, it also helps maintain the skin barrier and protects against irritations.
