Vegetable Glycerin

Vegetable glycerin is plant-derived glycerol (typically from coconut, soy, or palm oil hydrolysis) — chemically identical to the humectant glycerin used across dermatology. As a Natural Moisturising Factor analogue it binds water into the stratum corneum, reduces tightness and flaking, and supports barrier lipid organisation. At 2–10% it is the hydration backbone of creams, serums, and cleansers alike, and its non-comedogenic, non-irritating profile suits every skin type. Plant sourcing appeals to natural-focused formulations without any performance difference. Apply within moisturising products on damp skin for the classic humectant payoff — simple, proven, and unmatched for the price.
