Making Good Scents™

Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a clear, odorless, and viscous liquid derived from plant oils or animal fats. In cosmetics, it is widely used as a humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the environment into the skin. This helps to keep skin hydrated, soft, and smooth. Glycerin also supports the skin’s natural barrier, making it a key ingredient in moisturizers, cleansers, and other personal care products.
