Vegetable Glycerine: The Humectant That Boosts Hydration Naturally

Vegetable glycerine draws moisture into the skin, helping it stay soft, plump, and hydrated. Explore why this gentle humectant is essential in our Oat, Honey & Glycerine Facial Scrub.

If your skin often feels tight, flaky, or dehydrated, vegetable glycerine may be the quiet hero you’ve been missing. As a natural humectant, it attracts water from the environment and binds it to your skin — keeping it supple, soft, and moisturised.

At EarthKiss Naturals, we include it in our Honey, Oat & Glycerine Facial Scrub to ensure gentle exfoliation without stripping your skin.

How Vegetable Glycerine Benefits the Skin

• Deep hydration
It pulls moisture into the outer layers of the skin.

• Supports a healthy skin barrier
Helps reduce dryness and sensitivity.

• Gentle and suitable for all skin types
Especially beneficial for dry and sensitive skin.

• Smooths and softens the skin
Improves texture while maintaining hydration.

Why We Use It in Our Facial Scrub

Many exfoliants can leave the skin tight — but not ours.

Vegetable glycerine helps:

✔ provide slip for gentle exfoliation
✔ protect the skin’s moisture barrier
✔ reduce irritation from dry patches
✔ leave the skin soft and radiant after rinsing

It transforms a simple scrub into a nourishing treatment.

Add It to Your Routine

Use 2–3 times weekly on damp skin. Massage gently, rinse, and follow with your favourite moisturiser.
