Your Skin's Best Friend:

When it comes to choosing the right soap for your skincare routine, a key consideration often gets overlooked – glycerin. Glycerin, a natural byproduct of the soap-making process, is like a hidden gem in skincare. It's the unsung hero that plays a vital role in maintaining your skin's health and radiance. Here's why retaining glycerin in our soaps is of paramount importance.
What is Glycerin?

Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a colorless and odorless liquid that can absorb moisture from the air. It's a humectant, meaning it attracts and retains water. Glycerin is a natural component of fats and oils, making it a common byproduct in the soap-making process.

The Skin's Best Friend:

Glycerin's magic lies in its ability to lock in moisture. It acts as a barrier, preventing the loss of hydration and keeping your skin supple and soft. Here's why glycerin deserves the spotlight:
  1. Hydration: Glycerin is a master at hydrating your skin. It draws moisture from the air and locks it into your skin, creating a protective barrier that keeps your skin hydrated throughout the day. Dry, flaky skin becomes a thing of the past.  
  2. Soothing: Glycerin has natural soothing properties, making it an excellent choice for sensitive skin. It helps reduce irritation and redness, promoting a calm and comfortable complexion.
  3. Anti-Aging:  Properly hydrated skin looks more youthful. Glycerin can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, keeping your skin plump and radiant.
  4. Cleansing: Glycerin is also a gentle cleanser. It effectively removes impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils.  

Why Some Soaps Strip Glycerin?

Unfortunately, many commercial soap brands remove glycerin from their products. The glycerin is often extracted and used in other lucrative industries, leaving the soap without this valuable component. So why do they do it? For mass-produced soap, removing glycerin makes economic sense. Glycerin can be used in various other applications, from the food and pharmaceutical industries to cosmetics and explosives. It's a valuable commodity.
