Why is Glycerine Good For Your Skin?

Glycerine is a humectant. Humectants have many uses, including as a component of many moisturizer formulations. Glycerine makes a particularly effective moisturizer because it is hydrophilic, or ‘water-loving’. This means it does not permeate the skin, instead remaining on the surface, retaining moisture and preventing the skin from drying out.

Other factors that make glycerine an appealing ingredient for use within moisturizing formulations are:
– Strong physico-chemical stability. Can resist environmental stresses, including extreme temperatures and exposure to light.
– Skin safety. No toxicity when applied to the skin.
– Good compatibility with other chemicals. Limited or no reactivity with other compounds and chemicals, this is essential when being used as part of a formulation.
– Cost effective.

For people who have dry or sensitive skin due to a medical condition, such as eczema, or as a side-effect of chemotherapy, the use of a high quality moisturizer can greatly improve their quality of life. A good moisturizer will provide soothing relief and protect vulnerable areas from further aggravation by environmental irritants. The Ozalys Precious Care Day and Night Moisturizing Cream does exactly this, providing care and nourishment to sensitive skin.
