Vegetable Glycerin
Widely used as a humectant, glycerine has long made a name for itself in the cosmetics industry. For the love of nature, the glycerine in our products is plant-based. Well tolerated by the skin and highly effective, this all-rounder is an integral part of numerous products.
INCI name: Glycerin
Special talents: Moisturising and protecting the skin
Irreplaceable base material
Our vegetable glycerine is obtained from high quality vegetable oil, usually rapeseed. In addition to its valuable moisturising effects, this clear and colourless viscous liquid plays an important role in the consistency of many lavera products. Let us reveal what makes this raw material so irreplaceable in natural cosmetics products.
Full Plant-Based Power for Beautiful Skin
Did you know glycerine is found in the protective acid mantle of the skin. It is part of its Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF), which helps it retain essential moisture. It also helps maintain the barrier function of the skin, protecting it from drying and irritation.
Our vegetable glycerine provides valuable moisture to the skin and is an excellent humectant. Used as a carefully dosed ingredient in our special skincare formulas, glycerine can also help improve the skin’s elasticity. It occurs in all natural fats and oils as a fatty acid ester (triglyceride).
