What is Vegetable Glycerin?

Discover Vegetable Glycerin Pint — Vegetable glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a thick, clear, odorless, and sweet-tasting liquid obtained from vegetable oils.

Main Uses: What is it for?

Vegetable glycerin is extremely versatile. It is mainly used as a solvent in the preparation of herbal tinctures (called glycerites), as a humectant in creams and lotions, and as a natural sweetener in foods. Since it is non-alcoholic, it is an excellent alternative for those looking to extract active plant compounds without the effects of alcohol. It is also used in the manufacture of soaps, candles, and ecological cleaning products.

How to Use Vegetable Glycerin?

Vegetable glycerin can be used directly or diluted. For tinctures, mix the dried plant with glycerin in a 1:5 ratio (weight/volume) and let it macerate for 4-6 weeks. In cosmetics, it is added to creams and lotions in concentrations of 2-5%. As a sweetener, it replaces sugar in baking, although its sweetening power is lower. Always keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

Precautions and Storage

Although vegetable glycerin is safe for human consumption, it is not recommended to ingest large quantities, as it may have a laxative effect. Keep out of reach of children. In case of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water. Store at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight. The product has an expiration date indicated on the label.
