Glycerine (Vegetable Glycerine)
INCI: Glycerin
CAS: 56-81-5
This is a highly versatile and widely used ingredient within the cosmetics and toiletries industries. Derived from plant oils, this clear, odourless liquid is valued for its exceptional moisturising properties and compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic formulations.
It is a powerful humectant, meaning it helps attract and retain moisture in the skin. By drawing hydration from the surrounding environment and locking it into the skin’s surface, it helps maintain softness, smoothness, and overall skin comfort. This makes it a key ingredient in products designed to support hydration and skin conditioning.
Its gentle and skin-friendly nature makes it suitable for a wide variety of cosmetic applications, including skincare, haircare, and soap making. It is commonly used in lotions, creams, serums, cleansers, shampoos, conditioners, and glycerine-based soaps where it contributes to improved moisture retention and product performance.
Glycerine also helps enhance the texture and spreadability of cosmetic products while improving the overall sensory feel of finished formulations. Its water solubility and excellent compatibility with other cosmetic ingredients make it easy to incorporate into both simple and advanced formulations.
For crafters and cosmetic brands alike, our Glycerine provides a reliable, plant-derived ingredient that supports hydration, smoothness, and formulation stability across a wide range of personal care products.
