Glycerin acts as a humectant, which allows the skin to retain moisture. It can increase skin hydration and relieve dryness. It’s also an emollient and softens the skin. This is great if eczema or psoriasis leave you with rough or dry patches. It also has antimicrobial properties, which means it can protect the skin from harmful microorganisms.
