WAAM Multi-Use Vegetable Glycerin is a plant-based humectant to add to your skin and hair care. This vegetable glycerin, also called glycerol, attracts water and holds it in the skin or hair, so both stay hydrated for longer and are protected from dehydration. It makes creams, shampoos and shower gels softer and less drying. It mixes easily with liquid or thick products, but not with oil. It comes in a 200ml recycled plastic bottle with an aluminum twist cap.

Key Benefits

  • Humectant: it draws water in and keeps skin and hair hydrated for longer.
  • Softness: it makes your care feel softer and less drying.
  • Hair: diluted in water, it softens and hydrates the hair.
  • Easy to blend: its syrupy texture mixes into creams, shampoos and gels.
  • Precise dosing: the twist cap delivers it little by little.

Key Ingredients

Vegetable glycerin, the only ingredient, is a clear, syrupy liquid of plant origin. It is a hydrating, humectant and emollient cosmetic agent that mixes with water but not with oil. Use it at 1 to 10 percent of a formula, depending on the needs of your skin or hair.
