Correct Answer: Glycerol


Solution : The correct answer is Glycerol.

Glycerol is used in moisturising creams and soaps because it has hygroscopic properties. Hygroscopic properties are related to humidity, which means the element can hold water molecules or attract water molecules from the environment or its surroundings, and it becomes a useful product in hydrating and moisturising the skin. That's why glycerol is used in moisturisers and other products because of its hygroscopic properties.
