Skin-identical Ingredient

We have made quality our habit. It’s not something that we just strive for – we live by this principle every day.

• Superstar Glycerin

A natural humectant found in our skin. A very common, affordable, efficient, and safe chemical that has been in use for more than 50 years. A basic moisturizer that is much more than that: It retains our skin's lipids in a healthy (liquid crystal) state between our skin cells, guards against irritation, and aids in barrier restoration. Effective at concentrations as low as 3%, with further advantages for dry skin at 20–40% . Using high-glycerin moisturizers to treat really dry skin is fantastic.
