Overview
It is important to know that in its pure form glycerin is dangerous to health, as it has an irritating effect. It is contraindicated in violation of the skin. Before use, consult a doctor.
To buy glycerin
Prime Chemicals Group is a reliable assistant for any laboratory.
“Super-moisturizing” and “super-essential” for dry skin and hair glycerin is a favorite ingredient of marketers. It is Bebegel to make your clinical smooth, moisturized, literally collecting moisture from the air.
Let's try to understand the magic of glycerin, is it effective and safe for daily use in your cosmetics?
What is glycerin?
Glycerin is a substance that, in consistency, resembles a clear, viscous liquid, it can be extracted from vegetable fats or synthesized chemically, in which case it is extracted from the toxic substance epichlorohydrin. Manufacturers Bebegel often simply do not indicate - what origin of glycerin, most likely if it is not written that it is natural - then it is synthetic.
It reduces the viscosity of cosmetics, which helps them not freeze during transportation in the winter season. It can also be found in certain foods (pastries, sweets, etc.)
There are 3 main varieties for glycerin:
- Raw : 44-88% pure glycerin
- Technical : 98% glycerin
- Pharmaceutical: 99.5-99.7% pure glycerin
Other important designations: kosher (vegetarian - from vegetable products) and food.
Is glycerin harmful to the skin?
Glycerin collects moisture from the air and holds it, one molecule of glycerin is able to collect near 10 water molecules. But, the fact is that this is possible only when air humidity 65% and more, in other cases, glycerin simply collects moisture from the deeper layers of the skin . visible moisture actually dries the skin.
Glycerin for face skin
The same effect awaits those who use the cream, in which the main ingredient (at the top of the list) is glycerin. In order for glycerin to have a beneficial effect on the skin, firstly, it must be natural, and secondly, in the right proportion it is combined with other natural components. If you do not want to buy organic cosmetics, better try to find a cream without glycerin in general.
Glycerin for the skin around the eyes
Glycerin per se cannot be classified as a toxic ingredient, nor can it be called poison. But it all depends on what it is extracted from and how much is in your eye cream. Synthetic glycerin can cause allergies and dry sensitive skin (isn’t it strange if it is intended to moisturize it ?!)
In addition, an excessive amount of glycerin can create a sticky effect on the skin, and this is not very pleasant, because then you still need to apply a foundation or shadow on your eyelids!
Hand glycerin
Most often, glycerin is perhaps simple in soap and hand creams. But the use of cheap means of the mass market with glycerin leads to the fact that the skin needs to be hydrated again and again - glycerin just aggressively draws all the moisture from the inside (unless, of course, you live treated the tropics), the effect that the manufacturers need is obtained - first the skin of the hands is well moisturized, after a while hands are dry again and need to be smeared again - so we don’t leave the house without cream in a purse.
Can pure glycerin be used for face skin care? What will be the effect?
Some lovers of experimentation write about what you can buy pure glycerin (sold at the pharmacy) and use it (diluted with plain or rose water) for hands and face. The skin really immediately looks moisturized (unless, of course, you are allergic to glycerin).
So, perhaps, if you suddenly have a wedding or other important event, then as an emergency moisturizer (again, do not overdo it so that there is no sticky or wet effect) - you can use it, but not for daily care, not if you want to have healthy and beautiful skin always, and to keep youth as long as possible.
