Glycereth-7

What is Glycereth-7?

Glycereth-7 is the lighter, more versatile member of the glycerin family—a modified version that provides hydration with a less tacky feel and enhanced compatibility with other ingredients. This clear liquid draws moisture to the skin while improving the texture and stability of formulations. Think of it as glycerin that went to finishing school—retaining all the moisture-binding power but with improved manners and greater adaptability. It's the skincare equivalent of a versatile basic wardrobe piece that pairs well with everything—enhancing overall performance without calling attention to itself. For those who appreciate effective but elegant hydration, glycereth-7 offers that perfect balance of moisture-binding power and formulation flexibility that creates products that feel as good as they perform, without the potential stickiness of traditional glycerin.
