Glycerin is a versatile product and is commonly used in skin and hair care products. It is very popular because it binds moisture in the product as well as on the skin and hair. As a moisturizer, our vegetable glycerin hydrates the skin and makes it shine. Thanks to its nourishing and moisturizing properties, it can be used in shampoos and hair masks. Glycerin can be mixed with water. If necessary, the glycerin can be pre-dissolved in water to simplify processing.
Use of glycerin in cosmetic production
The hydrating effect of glycerin far exceeds that of urea. In addition to its moisturizing properties, glycerin also promotes skin elasticity. Glycerin plays a special role, especially when used in washing emulsions, as it has a softening effect on surfactants and other washing-active substances. In O/W emulsions, the damaging effect of the corneal layer is largely avoided.
Depending on the concentration, glycerin draws water up from deeper layers of the skin to varying degrees and holds it in the stratum corneum without releasing the moisture into the air. Thanks to the excellent water-binding ability of glycerin, the emulsion is stabilized and the consistency and structure are significantly improved.

Background knowledge about glycerin
Glycerin is chemically bound in all vegetable oils and other natural fats and fatty oils. It is an intermediate product from various metabolic processes. Glycerin is contained in coconut oil at 17%, palm oil at 11% and soybean oil at 10% and is therefore a normal part of our daily diet.

The hydrating effect of glycerin is particularly impressive and significantly exceeds that of urea. In addition to its ability to moisturize effectively, glycerin also has the benefit of promoting skin elasticity.
Glycerin plays a crucial role, especially in washing emulsions. It mitigates the effect of surfactants and other detergent substances, which is of great importance for the skin compatibility of washing products. In oil-in-water emulsions, the potentially harmful effects on the stratum corneum of the skin are largely avoided.
The effectiveness of glycerin varies depending on its concentration. It draws water up from the deeper layers of the skin and holds it in the top layer, the stratum corneum, without releasing it into the environment. This helps to stabilize emulsions and significantly improves their consistency and structure.
In summary, glycerin is an extremely valuable ingredient due to its excellent ability to bind moisture and its wide range of uses in skin care.
