What is it?

Glycerin is a naturally occurring compound, also known as glycerol. In skincare formulations, glycerin is widely known for its role as a humectant. It attracts moisture from the air into the top layer of skin, and due to its low molecular weight, will continue to draw moisture to the deeper layers of the dermis, keeping the skin well-hydrated.

Information

Glycerin is a naturally occurring compound, also known as glycerol. In skincare formulations, glycerin is widely known for its role as a humectant. It attracts moisture from the air into the top layer of skin, and due to its low molecular weight, will continue to draw moisture to the deeper layers of the dermis, keeping the skin well-hydrated.

Where does it come from?

Glycerin is found in all-natural lipids (fats) in both animals and plants. It can be produced through the hydrolysis of fats or the fermentation of sugars and is derived from plants, such as rapeseed or sunflower. At OLIVEDA, our glycerin is plant derived. The production process adheres to the principles of green chemistry, making modern glycerin both biodegradable and renewable.

What are the benefits?

PROTECTING REJUVENATING HYDRATING

What are the benefits?

  • Hydration: As a powerful humectant, glycerin draws moisture from the air and deeper layers of the skin to the outer layer, keeping the skin well-hydrated.
  • Skin Barrier Function: Glycerin can fill the intercellular matrix, strengthening the skin’s natural barrier against environmental irritants and low moisture levels.
  • Protection: It forms a protective layer on the skin, minimizing dehydration and shielding against external aggressors.
  • Cell Renewal: It has been shown to speed up the cell renewal process by promoting moisture levels and cell repair.
  • Skin Conditioning: Regular use of glycerin contributes to skin texture, making it softer and more supple.
  • Rejuvenating: By maintaining skin hydration, glycerin can minimize the appearance of maturing skin.

How is it used in our products?

Glycerin is included for its moisturizing, rejuvenating, and protective properties. It can soften and rejuvenate the skin, while it minimizes the signs of maturing skin.
