If your hair is feeling a bit crispy or your skin is desert dry, no doubt you’ll be reaching for a moisturizing product. That product will most likely contain one of the backbones of beauty - Glycerin - the great hydrator. It works hard behind the scenes to lock in moisture, repair and protects against environmental stressors - and it keeps working long after you apply it.

Glycerin naturally occurs in plants and animals. For topical use, it is a colourless, scentless liquid sourced from plants such as soybean & coconut or synthetically produced. It's extremely common in our hydrating and moisturizing hair and skincare products and for good reason. It's known as a humectant, attracting water to itself from deep within the skin or from the air when it’s humid, it's the ultimate moisture-magnet.

For hair, it will strengthen strands and stop breakage, deeply moisturize thick or curly hair and condition a dry scalp. For skin, Glycerin effectively moisturizes and smooths, leaving it soft with a dewy appearance – love that. It combats extremely dry skin and repairs elasticity as well as offering the perfect protection against harsher products that strip our natural oils. It's the secret weapon living on your bathroom shelf.

We recommend using it on dry, clean skin each morning and night.
