Why Glycerine matters
Glycerine is essential for its moisturising properties, helping retain moisture in formulations, making it crucial for skin care products and pharmaceuticals. Its versatility contributes to its demand across multiple industries.
What is Glycerine?
Glycerine, or glycerol, is a simple polyol compound. It is a colourless, odourless liquid with a sweet taste and is hygroscopic, meaning it can draw moisture from the air. Glycerine is widely used as a solvent, humectant, and sweetener in various applications. Refined Glycerine at 99.7% purity is often derived from plant oils or animal fats through hydrolysis or saponification processes. It acts as an effective emollient and is compatible with many other substances, enhancing the effectiveness of several formulations.
