Science & Benefits

A high-molecular-weight polymer consisting of ten glycerin units. This ingredient acts as an intensive moisture-binding agent with a very low volatility, meaning it does not easily evaporate off the skin. It is 100% non-comedogenic. It represents a superior alternative to traditional occlusives (like petrolatum) for acne sufferers, as it provides high-intensity surface hydration and 'plumping' without any risk of follicular occlusion or trapping heat.
