A gel-like preparation or formulation made with glycerin as the primary base or component.
Glycero- (glycerin combining form) + gel (from Latin gelatus, 'frozen'). Developed in 20th-century pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulation.
Glycerogels are popular in modern cosmetics because they combine glycerin's moisturizing power with a gel texture that feels light and doesn't leave skin greasy.
