CFI Vegetable Glycerine - Food Grade is a pure, refined humectant used in food applications and body care formulations where moisture retention and a smoother texture are wanted. It is a sugar alcohol, also known as glycerol, not an oil, so it blends easily into water-based systems and syrup-like mixtures rather than oil-only formulas. This palm-derived vegetable glycerine is highly water soluble, GMO-free, Halaal certified, Kosher certified and suitable for both food and cosmetic use.

♡ Why we love it: Vegetable glycerine is a quietly essential ingredient across practical formulation and everyday making. It is easy to work with, broadly useful and brings moisture-supporting performance with a smooth, dependable feel.

This product is certified: Food Grade and Vegan.
