Because it is highly soluble in water and alcohol, it is easy to incorporate into toners, gels, cleansers, creams, and hair products. This glycerine is cosmetic grade and RSPO certified, and it is made from sustainably sourced palm and palm kernel oil.

Your vegetable glycerine sinks deep into my skin and is a perfect carrier for other ingredients like essential oils, shea butter and castor oil. I also use it on my hair and scalp as a mask.
Such a great quality product. I use this vegetable glycerine in my DIY soaps. It blends well with other ingredients and you can feel the difference in texture immediately. Packaging is lovely and practical, and as always, delivery was relatively quick and easy. Definitely a staple in my DIY kit!
Added to other oil makes a excellent lubricant for both skin and hair products.
