INCI: Glycerin

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.

Food Grade: This refers to ingredients certified by an independent body (such as the FSA) as safe for human consumption. They are tested and produced under strict food-safe conditions. However, once repacked by a facility not certified by the Food Safety Authority (FSA), the product can no longer be sold or labeled as food grade - even if the original source was certified.

Food Safe: These ingredients are pure, originally food grade, and commonly used in food. They are handled in hygienic conditions, and our facility is inspected and approved as food safe by local municipal health authorities. However, as we are not a certified food production facility, we do not label these items as food grade. They are safe for personal use but not recommended for products intended for ingestion if being sold to the public.
