INCI: Glycerine

Essentially Natural Vegetable Glycerine (Glycerin) is a thick and clear liquid that is derived from vegetable oils and is known for its excellent moisturizing properties. Hydrating the skin, retaining moisture and improving elasticity, making it ideal for use in DIY body care products. It is also very soluble in water and alcohol, making it easy to include in any formulation.

Why we love it: Vegetable Glycerine is a natural and very mild emollient; reducing the risk of any irritation for sensitive skin types. This makes it a wonderful addition to any cosmetic formulator’s tool kit.

Pure vegetable glycerine, made from sustainably sourced palm and palm kernel oil.

Our take on palm oil: we do actively try to avoid products that are produced from palm oil sources but sometimes it just isn't possible. Therefore at a minimum, any products containing palm oil must be from sustainably sourced palm oil. Sustainably sourced palm oil may still be a better option than other alternatives, which although won't carry the stigma that palm oil does, can still be farmed and produced unsustainably - in some cases in an even less sustainable manner than palm oil itself. The problem isn't palm oil, it is the way in which unethical producers farm it. The way we see it, supporting sustainably-sourced farmers will help change the way this product is farmed, leading to better environmental policies, while still supporting the communities that depend on palm farming.

Great product

I'm deeply grateful to Essentially Natural for their exceptional service, the warm customer support, and the thoughtful gift that came with my purchase. Your efforts are sincerely appreciated. The glycerine has worked wonders for my extremely dry skin, freeing me from the incessant itching. Additionally, I've found it to be an excellent moisturizer for my hair and a great addition to my DIYs.

It is always a pleasure to order from Essentially Natural. Service is excellent and snappy. Website is very user friendly and not many websites offer the inside info, knowledge, tips, recipes etc that you guys give out freely.
Thank you!
