Glycerin – nature’s moisture bomb for skin and hair

Glycerin is one of the most effective moisturizing ingredients in skincare and haircare. This natural ingredient draws moisture from the air and binds it to skin and hair, providing intense hydration and softness.

What is glycerin?

Glycerin, also called glycerol, is a natural alcohol extracted from vegetable oils. It is a clear, odorless liquid known for its moisture-binding properties. Glycerin is a humectant, which means it attracts water from the environment and helps retain moisture in skin and hair.

Benefits of glycerin

• Intense hydration: Attracts and binds moisture from the air
• Reduces frizz: Helps hair retain moisture and reduces static
• Adds shine: Hydrated hair reflects light better and looks shinier
• Softens: Makes both skin and hair softer and more supple
• Strengthens hair: Hydrated hair is more elastic and less prone to breakage

Why does FOAM use glycerin?

We use vegetable glycerin in our products to provide intense hydration without weighing down the hair. Glycerin works excellently in combination with other natural ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter to deliver maximum care.
