Glycerin

A Plant-Derived Elixir for Deep Hydration and Barrier Support

Text: Glycerin, listed in INCI simply as Glycerin, is sourced in MARGO products exclusively from vegetable origins. This pure, natural substance is obtained through the hydrolysis of plant-based oils, such as rapeseed, coconut, or sunflower oil. Unlike synthetic glycerin derived from petroleum, our pharmaceutical-grade vegetable glycerin is non-irritating and fully biocompatible with the human skin structure.

From a scientific perspective, Glycerin is a vital humectant that mimics the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). Its molecules penetrate the stratum corneum, where they attract and bind water within the intercellular spaces. Beyond hydration, Glycerin plays a crucial role in maintaining the fluidity of intercellular lipids, thereby facilitating the repair of the skin's protective barrier. In MARGO's professional range, Glycerin ensures long-lasting suppleness and softness while shielding the skin from environmental aggressors.
