Functions
Fragrance
Added for scent. Can be natural or synthetic. Common irritant and allergen — one of the top reasons people react to products.
Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Quells irritation
Traditional Use
The CAS number for Glycerin, an alcohol compound first isolated from fats in the early 19th century. Widely used in traditional and modern cosmetics as a humectant and skin softener.
