Vegetable glycerin: hydration, softness and comfort for your skin

Vegetable glycerin is one of the most effective natural humectants in cosmetics. Its ability to attract and retain moisture in the skin makes it an essential ingredient for maintaining facial hydration, softness, and elasticity. 

In addition, it improves skin texture, provides immediate comfort and helps to strengthen the skin's protective barrier.

At ADN Diamantino we use certified organic vegetable glycerin for its purity, tolerance and real effectiveness on dry, sensitive or dehydrated skin.
