What is Glycerin?

Glycerin is a natural organic compound obtained from vegetable oils, which is colorless, odorless, and has a syrupy consistency. Classified in cosmetic chemistry as a 'humectant' (moisture attractor), this valuable molecule has the ability to attract water from its surroundings like a sponge and bind it to the skin. As a part of the skin's natural moisturizing factors (NMF), glycerin shows excellent biocompatibility with the skin. In cosmetic products produced with Lacinia quality, it is used as a key active ingredient to increase the stability of the formula and provide intense, long-lasting hydration to the skin. It continues to be one of the gold standards of the beauty industry for many years.

Benefits in Skincare

Moisture is the most fundamental requirement for healthy and radiant skin, and glycerin meets this need perfectly. By increasing the amount of water in the stratum corneum, the top layer of the skin, it smoothes the skin surface and limits moisture loss. It wraps the skin in a protective cosmetic barrier against the drying effects of external factors. With regular use, it supports the appearance of skin elasticity, allowing the skin to achieve a fresher, more vibrant, and plump aesthetic structure. The pure glycerin in Lacinia products is a true moisture reservoir that nourishes the skin without tiring it and provides a renewed appearance.

Deeply Moisturizes: It collects water from the atmosphere and lower layers on the skin surface, providing an intense, all-day moisturizing experience.
Softens and Smoothes: It rapidly softens dry, hardened, or roughened skin texture, creating a velvety, smooth, and even texture.
Refreshes and Brightens: It removes the dull and pale appearance of moisture-saturated skin, adding natural vitality, brightness, and freshness to the skin.

How to Use?

To get maximum efficiency from Lacinia products containing glycerin, cosmetic experts frequently recommend applying the product while the skin is slightly damp. Glycerin-based serums or creams applied immediately after face washing or the toner step, while the water on the skin has not yet fully evaporated, trap water in the skin and maximize its moisturizing capacity. It is suitable for daily use, both morning and evening, to prepare the skin for makeup in daytime care and to nourish and refresh the skin during sleep in nighttime care.

Who Can Use It?

Because it is a non-comedogenic (pore-clogging) ingredient with an extremely low potential for irritation, glycerin is suitable for all skin types without exception, from oily to dry, and combination to sensitive. It is an indispensable cosmetic supporter, especially for those whose skin remains dehydrated due to cold weather, wind, air conditioning, or heaters, and those who complain about a dull skin appearance. Since it does not create a feeling of heaviness, it is a highly comfortable option even for meeting the moisture needs of skin prone to oiliness.

Things to Consider

Since glycerin can draw water from the skin in very dry climates when applied directly in its pure form, it should always be used in its balanced ratio within formulated Lacinia cosmetic products. During the application of products around the eyes, direct contact with the eyes should be avoided; it should only be applied to the face and body surface for cosmetic purposes and in accordance with the instructions.
