Also called vegetable glycerin(e). Chemically an alcohol, glycerol, glycerin is a sweet, thick, clear liquid. Glycerin is a by product of soap manufacture, when you combine fats/oils (triglycerides) and a base, the end product is soap and glycerin. The glycerin comes off the triglyceride molecule. In commercial soap manufacture they remove all the glycerin because it's a valuable commodity to sell separately. Commercially glycerin is used in many industries and applications including the food industry and as a food grade machinery lubricant. In handcrafted soap the glycerin remains (which is why all handcrafted soap-opaque or otherwise-is true "glycerin" soap), but also extra glycerin can be added. Glycerin is used along with sugar and alcohol to make transparent soap. A valuable cosmetic ingredient as a solvent, humectant and emollient. When used as a humectant and to prevent drying of the product in lotions and creams, use rate is 2-5% of the water phase. Too much glycerin in an emulsion can produce a sticky feel. The chief ingredient in "edible" products found in love shops; when applied to the skin (and blown on) it feels warm. 1 L of glycerin weighs about 1280g. The glycerin we carry is a high quality vegetable source, refined, Kosher and USP/BP grade. Derived from non-GMO palm based oils. Not irradiated. Product of Malaysia.
