COSMETICS - INCI FUNCTIONS of GLYCERETH-26:
***Humectant.
Hygroscopic compound used to minimise water loss in the skin and to prevent Glycereth-26 from drying out by facilitating faster and greater absorption of water into the stratum corneum of the epidermis.
The epidermis is the most superficial of the three layers that make up human skin (epidermis, dermis and hypodermis) and is the layer that maintains hydration in all three layers.
In turn, the epidermis is composed of five layers: horny, the most superficial, granular, spinous, shiny, and basal.
