Glycerin

What it is
Glycerin is a naturally occurring humectant found in plants and in the skin itself. It helps attract and retain moisture.

Why we use it 
Glycerin supports hydration and helps soothe dryness by strengthening the skin’s moisture barrier—especially important when skin feels fragile, tight, or depleted.

Why it’s considered safe
- Non-irritating and non-sensitizing  
- Widely used in medical-grade and dermatology-recommended skincare  
- Suitable for sensitive and compromised skin  

Good to know 
Glycerin is commonly recommended for dry, reactive, and post-treatment skin. Safe for use during and after cancer treatment.
