Glycerin works as a humectant, drawing water out of the air and into your hair or skin, as well as a gentle cleanser. It has a light, slippery feel and adds both texture and moisturizing ability to your shampoo. It is also a relatively inexpensive ingredient for how much good it does for your hair.
