Glycerin is one of the best natural moisturizers in living systems and is commonly used in skin care products for preventing and treating skin dryness because it moisturizes/plasticizes the stratum corneum. A powerful humectant, benefits include attraction of moisture, osmoregulation of the intracellular milieu, and maintenance of liquid crystallinity/fluidity of cell membranes. Glycerine is increasingly replacing propylene glycol wherever possible due to cost savings and its natural vegetable origins.
