Our bulk Vegetable Glycerin 99.7% USP Kosher is a sweet tasting, colorless, odorless, nontoxic, viscous liquid that is widely used in personal care preparations. Glycerin, Glycerine and glycerol all refer to the same colorless, odorless, semi viscous liquid. It has strong humectant properties which improve smoothness, provides lubrication, and dryness prevention in the personal care products where its used. Glycerin is the backbone of all animal fats and plant oils so it is typically obtained as a byproduct of soap making with these fats and oils or obtained by splitting these fats/oil. Our glycerin comes exclusively from plants and is from one of the following plant oils - soybean, corn, canola, coconut, palm kernel oil, and/or palm.

In our bar soap glycerin is found as a co-product of soap production. During saponification when triglycerides and fatty acids are combined with a strong alkali glycerin and soaps (such as sodium cocoate or sodium palm kernelate) are produced. The glycerin is distilled to increase its concentration and undergoes a carbon bleaching process to obtain a highly pure ingredient that we use in our products but could also be used in food and pharmaceuticals.
