Refined vegetable glycerin is a purified form of glycerin derived from vegetable oils such as palm oil, coconut oil, or soybean oil. The refining process typically involves distillation to remove impurities, resulting in a clear, odorless, and viscous liquid with a sweet taste. It is also known as glycerol or vegetable glycerol.

Here's a breakdown of its key aspects:

Properties of Refined Vegetable Glycerin:

  • Appearance: Clear, colorless, and thick liquid.
  • Odor: Odorless.
  • Taste: Sweet.
  • Viscosity: High, syrupy consistency.
  • Solubility: Miscible in water and ethanol.
  • Hygroscopic: Attracts and retains moisture from the air (humectant).
  • Emollient: Softens and soothes the skin.
  • pH: Relatively neutral, close to that of the skin.
  • Non-toxic and biodegradable: Generally considered safe for consumption and the environment.

Common Uses of Refined Vegetable Glycerin:

Refined vegetable glycerin is incredibly versatile and used across various industries:

  • Cosmetics and Personal Care:
    • Moisturizer: Its humectant properties help to draw and lock moisture into the skin, making it a key ingredient in lotions, creams, serums, and masks.
    • Emollient: It softens and smooths the skin, improving its texture.
    • Solvent: It helps to dissolve other cosmetic ingredients.
