Glycerin
A natural sugar-alcohol humectant that's safe to eat, put on skin, and is used in food, medicine, and cosmetics.
Glycerin (glycerol) draws water into skin and food, keeping both moist. It's one of the most well-studied and widely used ingredients in the world, generally recognized as safe to eat and gentle on skin, with irritation only in rare or unusual circumstances.

Why it matters
Glycerin, also called glycerol, is a clear, syrupy, sweet-tasting liquid. It's a humectant, meaning it pulls moisture from the air into whatever it's mixed with. In cosmetics and skincare, it keeps skin hydrated and prevents products from drying out. In food, it keeps things moist, adds sweetness without much sugar, and helps blend ingredients that don't normally mix (like oil and water). Your body also makes glycerol naturally as part of normal fat metabolism, so it's not a foreign substance - it's already part of how you work.
