Humectants are hygroscopic materials that act as moisturizers by binding water. Glycerol is one of the most popular humectants because it offers very strong water binding properties at a relatively low price. Diglycerol is a good alternative when milder moisturizing properties are required. Compared to glycerol, Diglycerol absorbs less water, more slowly from the human skin. It also gives a less sticky skin feeling than glycerol, which is an important advantage for the formulation of facial lotions. Diglycerol is also very popular in hair care formulations, as it gives a wet look without leaving a greasy feeling.
Emollients are fatty materials which form a thin pellicule on the skin, preventing it from drying out. Because of their skin fat replenishing properties, Polyglycerol fatty acid esters can be used as skin conditioning emollients in skin care formulations and special lipsticks (for dry lips).
