Description

Vegetable glycerin or simply glycerin is a clear, syrup-like liquid that has a sweet taste and no odor. It is obtained from vegetable fats found in carrier oils.

Vegetable glycerin acts as an emollient, which means that it helps to soften and moisturize skin, making it useful in a variety of body care recipes. It’s often found in toothpaste, hair care products, and shaving cream. Because it’s water and alcohol soluble, it mixes well in homemade creams and body sprays.
