Description
This powerful humectant draws moisture from the environment into your skin while providing gentle exfoliation by breaking down dead skin cells. It's commonly used in moisturizers and treatments for dry, rough skin because it can hold up to twice its weight in water and improve skin texture. The ingredient has an excellent safety profile and is well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin.
