Glycerine is a clear liquid with hygroscopic qualities, meaning that it absorbs humidity from the air. Glycerine softens and moisturizes the skin by continuously drawing moisture that is present in the air. This is a great property because it means that your skin gets continuous moisture, not limited to what is in the soap. Glycerine soap also allows the skin to breathe freely. Recent studies have also found that Glycerine may have therapeutic properties. Glycerine soap is especially good for sensitive and delicate skin, and for children.

Glycerine is one of the natural products of a soap making process. However, since it is a high quality by-product, large scale soap manufacturers typically extract it from the soap by adding salts and distilling the resulting phase. They then use it in more expensive skin care products. We buy it from them, enrich it with pure essential oils and fragrance blends, and create beautiful handmade aromatherapy bars, a treat to your eyes and your skin.
