GLYCERIN - a humectant used in moisturizers due to its water- binding capabilities that allow it to draw
and absorb water from the air. Glycerin helps the skin retain moisture. It also improves the spreading
qualities of creams and lotions. It is a clear, syrupy liquid made by chemically combining water and fat
that is usually derived from vegetable oil. It is nonirritating and non allergenic.
GRAPE - used in extract form, it is described as tonic, with anti- inflammatory and decongestant
properties. It may act as an antioxidant. Grape can also reduce redness. All of these traits make it
particularly beneficial in anti aging, after sun, and other sun care products. Grape’s main constituent is
a high proportion of berberin with oxycanthin also present. Grapes contain vitamin C, chlorophyll and
enzymes. The value of these components to the skin is based on the method of extract processing and
cosmetic manufacturing.
GRAPESEED EXTRACT - (vitis vinifera) considered a counterirritant with soothing and antibacterial
properties. See Grape.
GRAPESEED OIL- (vitis vinifera) has moisturizing and nourishing properties due to its high linoleum acid
content. Grape seed oil is the fixed oil obtained by pressing grape seeds. More about Grapeseed Oil

irritation profile.

treatment in dermatological disorders. Gotu Kola is known inhibitor of keratinocyte proliferation, making
it useful in the treatment of severely dry skin such as psoriasis. It may also promote circulation and
serve as anticellulite ingredient. In addition, gotu kola is considered healing. It is helpful against
sunburns and other superficial, though not extensive, burns.
