glycerol
Moisturizer's syrupy base
Glycerol is a thick, colorless, sweet-tasting liquid used in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
It attracts and retains moisture, making it valuable as a humectant in lotions and as a sweetener in processed foods.
Glycerol is also called glycerin or glycerine.
It forms the backbone of fats and oils, released when they break down.
