Product overview

About Bell's Glycerin BP

Pure pharmaceutical-grade glycerin in a 200ml bottle: the humectant that draws moisture into the skin and holds it there. Bell's Glycerin BP is the skincare classic for dry, rough or chapped hands, tight winter faces and DIY beauty recipes — the same ingredient found in most moisturisers, without anything else added.

Why glycerin

Glycerin is a humectant: it pulls water from the air and deeper skin layers into the surface, plumping and softening. Neat it's too sticky for most, so the tradition is to dilute it — a little in water or rosewater as a toner, a few drops in a hand cream, or mixed with lemon juice for the old-fashioned overnight hand treatment.

How to use

Dilute before use — roughly one part glycerin to three or four parts water or rosewater — and smooth onto clean skin. For external use only. Patch-test if your skin is sensitive.

Good to know

This is glycerin for skincare, not the lemon-and-honey cough syrup — for that, see Care Glycerin Lemon & Honey. A cosmetic, so persistent skin problems belong with a pharmacist.
