Plant-Based Glycerin: A Natural Hydrator for Mature Skin

At Sole Toscana, our passion is harnessing nature's best ingredients to gently support skin vitality and health. We strongly believe that nature harbors the most effective ingredients for nurturing mature skin.


Among these, plant-based glycerin stands out for its simplicity and efficacy.  In this article, we focus on this transformative ingredient, found in Sole Toscana skincare products.


Let's dive in!

What is Plant-Based Glycerin?

Derived from natural sources such as soy, coconut oil, or palm oil, plant-based glycerin is a clear, odorless, and non-toxic liquid.


Plant-based glycerin is obtained through the saponification of natural oils. Its compatibility with the skin’s natural composition allows it to integrate seamlessly into the skin.


Glycerin is known for being a humectant, which means it has the ability to attract water from its surroundings. This property makes it an excellent ingredient for moisturizing products!

Multi-Faceted Benefits of Plant-Based Glycerin

Intensive Hydration

Mature skin often needs extra hydration, and plant-based glycerin excels in this aspect. As a natural humectant, it attracts moisture from the environment into the skin, helping to keep it deeply hydrated. This hydration is essential for maintaining the skin’s plumpness and elasticity.


Supporting Skin’s Natural Barrier

With age, skin’s natural barrier may weaken. Glycerin fortifies this barrier, protecting the skin from environmental stressors. This is crucial for maintaining the health and resilience of mature skin.


Gentle and Nourishing

For those with sensitive skin, plant-based glycerin is a blessing. Its gentle nature means it's unlikely to cause irritation, making it suitable for almost all skin types.


It nourishes the skin without overwhelming it, preserving its natural balance.

Glycerin in Sole Toscana

Plant-based glycerin is found in a variety of skincare products, from cleansers to serums.


When used in cleansers, it helps ensure the skin isn’t stripped of its natural oils, which is why we love it in Sole Toscana's ROSEWATER WELLSPRING CLEANSER. This gentle daily cleanser hydrates and soothes the skin while cleansing.


In creams and serums, it works to provide long-lasting moisture, leaving the skin soft, supple, and radiant. You can find it in Sole Toscana's daily serum, eye cream, and face cream.


All these products can be purchased together in the 4-Step Sole Toscana Skincare Set

Embracing plant-based glycerin and other natural ingredients in our skincare routines helps honor our skin’s natural aging process. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about nourishing our skin with what it needs to be healthy.


In our commitment to organic and natural skincare, we find that sometimes, the simplest ingredients, like plant-based glycerin, can make the most significant difference in caring for mature skin.
