Glycerin, also known as glycerol or glycerine, is a humectant that has been widely used in the skincare industry for decades. Here are some reasons why glycerin is used as an ingredient in Alpha D’or skin care products:

1. Humectant properties: Glycerin is able to attract and retain moisture from the air, helping to lock it into the skin. This makes it an excellent ingredient for dry, dehydrated, or mature skin.
2. Moisturizing: Glycerin helps to fill in the gaps between skin cells, providing a barrier against moisture loss and leaving the skin feeling soft, supple, and hydrated.
3. Skin hydration: Glycerin can help to increase the skin’s natural hydration levels by attracting and retaining water molecules. This makes it an excellent ingredient for products intended for dry, dehydrated, or flaky skin.
4. Emollient properties: Glycerin is an emollient that helps to soften and soothe dry skin, making it an effective ingredient in products for sensitive or irritated skin.
5. Skin barrier repair: Glycerin can help to repair and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier function, which can be compromised due to environmental factors, aging, or other conditions.
6. Anti-aging benefits: Glycerin has antioxidant properties that can help to protect the skin from environmental stressors and damage caused by free radicals.
7. Soften and calm: Glycerin can help to soften and calm irritated or inflamed skin, making it an effective ingredient in products for acne-prone or sensitive skin.
8. Improves skin elasticity: Glycerin can help to improve skin elasticity by increasing the production of collagen and improving the skin’s natural elasticity.
9. Skin pH balancing: Glycerin has a pH level close to that of the skin, making it an excellent ingredient for balancing the skin’s natural pH levels.
10. Cost-effective: Glycerin is a relatively inexpensive ingredient compared to other humectants, making it a popular choice for many skincare products.
