At Aloderma, we're all about harnessing the power of nature's finest ingredients to create farm-fresh skincare that works. That's why glycerin is a key player in many of our products, from our Aloe Brightening Facial Cleanser to our Aloe Soothing Moisturizing Lotion. But what exactly is glycerin, and why is it such a skincare superstar?

Think of glycerin as a natural humectant. That means it attracts and locks in moisture from the air, keeping your skin feeling plump, hydrated, and supple. It also helps prevent dryness and irritation, which is a big deal for those of us dealing with dry climates or sensitive skin. Here at Aloderma, we grow our own aloe vera, which is another amazing humectant. Together, glycerin and aloe vera create a powerful hydrating duo that keeps your skin happy and healthy.

The science behind glycerin is pretty cool too. It has a small molecular size, which allows it to penetrate deeply into the skin's layers, delivering long-lasting hydration. Glycerin also helps strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier, which is like a shield that protects your skin from environmental aggressors. So, not only does glycerin keep your skin hydrated, but it also helps it retain that moisture for a healthy, balanced complexion.

We use glycerin in a variety of our products because it's a versatile and gentle ingredient. It's suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin, and it plays well with other skincare ingredients. So, next time you reach for your favorite Aloderma product, take a moment to appreciate the power of glycerin – a little touch of nature that keeps your skin feeling its best.
