Glycereth-26
Glycereth-26Hydrator
A water-soluble glycerin derivative used as a humectant that draws and holds moisture.
What it does
Glycereth-26 is glycerin reacted with ethylene oxide to make a highly water-soluble humectant. It draws water to the skin surface and holds it there, and it helps dissolve other water-soluble ingredients. It is a water-binding, conditioning ingredient rather than an active.
