When I rub pure glycerin on my skin, what happens to it?
It is very moisturizing for my dry skin and it absorbs a lot of water. However, what happens to the glycerin when it stays on the skin for a
while? Does it get absorbed into the body? What does it break down
into, if anything? Do bacteria or other microbes use it or metabolize
it for anything?

Glycerin prevents the loss of body water by creating a skin barrier and keeps the skin always moist. This substance is safe and is present in most skin moisturizers
