Natural humectants are essential cosmetic elements with a dual purpose; they both stimulate moisture production, as well as help to retain skin's natural moisture. Widely preferred natural humectant ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, aloe and honey pull moisture from the air, helping to reinforce good skin health and repair damage. While humectants are typically associated with skin care products, they are also commonly used in hair care formulations to help boost  hair volume by attracting moisture which expands the hair shaft.
