Diglycerin
DiglycerinHydrator
A glycerin-related humectant that draws water to the skin surface with a less sticky feel.
What it does
Diglycerin is two glycerin units joined together. Like glycerin it is a humectant that attracts and holds water at the skin surface, but its larger molecule gives a less tacky feel. It is a hydration-and-texture ingredient rather than a skin active.
