💧 Vegetable Glycerin – Natural Humectant for Hydrated Skin, Hair & DIY Cosmetics
Vegetable Glycerin by Bio Shop™ is a 100% pure, plant-based, colorless and odorless liquid humectant derived from non-GMO vegetable oils (usually soy, coconut, or palm). Known for its powerful moisture-retaining properties, it is ideal for use in lotions, serums, creams, shampoos, soaps, and facial toners.
Glycerin attracts water from the environment into your skin or hair, making it a hydration hero in both commercial formulations and DIY skincare recipes. It's suitable for all skin types, especially dry, irritated, and sensitive skin.
