Glycerin or glycerol is one of the oldest and most respected skin moisturisers. It has been proven in many trials (both clinicals and instrumentals) to increase the moisture content of the skin and protect it from becoming dry and scaly. Glycerin is listed in all of the major pharmacopoeias and is used extensively for the treatment of the skin.
