Glycerin Drug Information | Glycerin | Glycerol
It is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry and rough skin, itchy skin, and minor skin irritations (such as skin rashes, skin burns from radiation therapy). Moisturizers are substances that soften and moisturize the skin and reduce itching. Some skin products (eg zinc oxide and petrolatum) are used to protect the skin from irritation and damage. . Dry skin is caused by a lack of water in the upper layer of the skin. Moisturizers such as glycerin form a fatty layer on top of the skin, causing water to accumulate on the skin, helping to soften the skin.
