Glycerin in Cosmetics: Everything You Need to Know

Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a proven ingredient in cosmetics and can be found in many skin care products. Find out everything you need to know about the ingredient here.

What is Glycerin?

Glycerin (glycerol) occurs naturally in our bodies and is a component of the skin’s own moisturizing system – it is therefore a natural moisturizing factor and humectant for the skin.

At the same time, you can also find it in many basic care products, especially in serums and face creams. However, glycerin is also an ingredient in shampoos, which provide the hair with a lot of moisture.

Effect of Glycerin or Glycerol

Provides a lot of moisture
High moisture-binding effect
Soothes the skin
Smoothing effect
Glycerin is considered well tolerated
Non-greasy texture
Protects against drying out
Plumps up the skin
Does not clog pores (therefore non-comedogenic)
Provides the scalp with plenty of moisture in shampoos
Prevents frizz and split ends
Provides a smooth cream texture
Compatible with neurodermatitis, rosacea, psoriasis

When should you use Glycerin?

Glycerin is ideal for dry to very dry skin. However, combination skin types and normal skin also benefit from the moisturizing properties of glycerin.

Glycerin is incredibly easy to incorporate into your skincare routine. It all depends on the product it's formulated into as to where you use it.

A glycerin serum is best applied after cleansing and toning. A face cream with glycerin is used as the last step in the skincare routine.

Application of Glycerin

Apply the glycerin serum or glycerin cream evenly to the face.

What are the side effects of Glycerin?

Even though glycerin is considered to be very well tolerated, the active ingredient can contribute to drying out the skin in high concentrations (from a glycerin content of 30%). Gentle, moisturizing formulas usually contain a glycerin content of just 3%.
