What is Vegetable Glycerin?

Vegetable glycerin is derived from plants such as soy, palms, coconuts, corn, and others. This water-soluble sugar alcohol is so popularly used in beauty products because it is a humectant. This means it pulls moisture from the environment around it and draws it into the deep layers of the skin and hair, improving the skin barrier and hair function. It’s easily absorbed into the skin and hair, giving other ingredients the ability to fully absorb as well.

Vegetable Glycerin for the Hair

Vegetable glycerine's ability to attract and hold in water makes it a savior for the scalp and hair follicles. The barrier it creates can keep and prevent the moisture from leaving the hair and the scalp, keeping it nourished for longer periods of time. With the scalp being hydrated, dandruff can be seen to decrease and the antimicrobial properties can help in easing the itchiness. Oiliness in the scalp can also be controlled because sebum is regulated with moisture levels increasing. Hair growth can be seen as the scalp's health is improved and the strength of the hair improves as well. Those who have thick and coarse hair can also benefit by the use of vegetable glycerin.
