Pure Glycerin Benefits

Glycerin is a versatile compound with many health benefits.

Skin health. Glycerin is widely regarded as the most effective humectant. Humectants are water-absorbing substances that help keep things moist. This property of glycerin helps retain moisture in the skin. 

A 2017 study showed that glycerin is an effective skin moisturizer. 

The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the skin and is a vital layer when it comes to retaining moisture within the body. Research shows that applying glycerin to the stratum corneum enhances its ability to retain moisture. A 2021 study found that glycerin not only boosts the stratum corneum's moisture-retaining capabilities but also improves its structure. But more research is needed to understand the mechanisms involved in the effect.
