   • Won’t clog pores; suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin.

7. Natural Preservative Booster:

   • Has mild antimicrobial properties that can help extend shelf life when used in certain concentrations.

8. Food and Beverages:

Usage Range (in Cosmetics & Skincare):

Note: At very high concentrations (above 20%), glycerin can draw moisture out of the skin in very dry environments, so it’s best balanced with water or hydrosols.

⚠️ Precautions:

• Always dilute with water or other hydrating ingredients to prevent skin tightness or stickiness.

• Store in a cool, dry place; glycerin is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
