VEGETABLE GLYCERIN

Glycerine, also known as Glycerin or Glycerol, is a versatile and widely used ingredient in the cosmetics and personal care industry. This colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting viscous liquid is a natural byproduct of the soap-making process, typically derived from plant oils. Renowned for its excellent moisturizing properties, Glycerine is a staple in skincare and haircare formulations

It is a humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the environment into the skin, helping to maintain hydration and improve the skin’s barrier function. When formulating with Glycerine, it can be added to the water phase or mixed with other water-soluble ingredients. It is especially useful in formulations where a hydrating and smoothing effect is desired, such as in lotions, creams, serums, and toners.

Glycerine is compatible with a wide range of ingredients, including emollients, emulsifiers, and other active ingredients. It can also help to improve the spreadability and absorption of products, leaving the skin feeling soft and supple. However, due to its hygroscopic nature, care should be taken when formulating for products in low-humidity environments, as Glycerine can potentially draw moisture away from the skin under these conditions.

In addition to its use in skincare, Glycerine is also popular in haircare products for its moisturizing and conditioning benefits. It helps to smooth and soften hair, making it a valuable component in shampoos, conditioners, and styling products.

Whether you are formulating a hydrating moisturizer, a soothing toner, or a conditioning hair product, Glycerine offers reliable performance and excellent skin compatibility, enhancing the overall effectiveness and sensory appeal of your formulations.
