What is Glycerin? Glycerin (also Glycerol) is a true classic in cosmetics – and rightfully so. It is a sugar alcohol that also occurs naturally in our body (as part of the NMF = Natural Moisturizing Factor). In high-quality natural cosmetics, it is usually obtained from plant oils (such as rapeseed or sunflower). Its superpower: It binds moisture like a magnet.

Glycerin is considered the most compatible and effective moisturizer of all. It penetrates deep into the outer skin layer and ensures that water does not evaporate there.

• Plumping: Due to the bound moisture, the skin appears plumper and small dryness lines are smoothed out.
• Elasticity: It keeps the skin barrier flexible and stable, making it more resistant to environmental influences (cold, wind).
• Penetration Enhancer: Glycerin helps other active ingredients to penetrate the skin better.

Glycerin is often underestimated, yet it is a blessing for sensitive skin types. Since it resembles the body's own substances, the allergy potential is extremely low.

The core benefits of Glycerin:

• Reduces feelings of tension in very dry and cracked skin immediately.
• Makes skin and hair supple (ideal in shampoos against split ends).
• Has a soothing effect and mitigates the "harshness" of surfactants in shower gels.
