This pure vegetable Glycerine (Organic) is USP Grade, Kosher, and GMO and allergen-free derived from organic vegetable oils such as palm, soy, sunflower or flax Seed. Glycerine is colourless and odourless, having a slight viscosity and a sweet taste when used in lip balms.
 
It is a viscous humectant (moisturizing) liquid used in cosmetics, shampoos, soaps, herbal remedies, pharmaceuticals and other household items. It is invaluable as a natural-source ingredient with emollient properties that can soften and soothe the skin. Because it is a humectant, it attracts moisture in the air to the skin. 
 
It is ideal for topical applications where moisture retention is important. It also gives creams and lotions a smoother texture.
