  • A. Butylated hydroxyl toluene
  • B. White soft paraffin
  • C. Glycerin
  • D. Alum
Correct Answer: Option C - Most of the materials used as humactants are polyols: Glycerin, Glycols i.e. propylene glycol, Polyethylene glycols : H(O-CH₂-CH₂)m OH m =4+. • Glycerin is one of the most popular humectants used because it produces the desired result fairly frequently and low in cost. A category of humectants caused nano-lipid gels allow skin retain moisture, but also possess antifungal properties.
