INCI: Glycerin

Essentially Natural Vegetable Glycerine is a thick, clear humectant derived from vegetable oils and widely used in cosmetic formulation. It attracts and holds water, helping products feel more moisturising and comfortable on skin. 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.

EN Staff Tip: Use glycerine to make your own botanical extracts! Learn how here: How To Make Glycerites .

This product is certified: Vegan, Beauty Without Cruelty, and Food Safe.
