Glycerin

In the guideBeta-Glucan
SoothingA naturally derived polysaccharide whose structure forms a moisture-retaining film, while also acting as an immunomodulator (via Dectin-1) that regulates inflammatory mediators and stimulates keratinocyte repair. It combines humectant, soothing, and wound-healing activity.
