Vegetable glycerin in skincare is a highly effective humectant without the potential side effects associated with hyaluronic acids. Its gentle nature makes it more efficient in attracting and retaining water in the skin cells, addressing a common condition known as trans epidermal water loss.
Understanding Dehydration: The Difference Between Dry and Dehydrated Skin
Trans-epidermal water loss occurs when the skin lacks proper hydration, leading to dehydration rather than true dryness. While many attribute dryness to insufficient oil production, We recognize that dehydration is often the underlying issue. Glycerin, a tried and true humectant, helps replenish and prevent water loss in the skin, providing much-needed hydration.
It's important to distinguish between dry skin and dehydrated skin. Dry skin refers to a lack of natural oils or lipids, resulting in a dry and uncomfortable feeling. On the other hand, dehydrated skin refers to insufficient water content in the skin, which can be improved with proper hydration. While the symptoms may appear similar, the underlying causes differ.
