Product Description

Our Organic Refined Vegetable Glycerin is a palm-free, high-purity glycerol (over 99.5%) made from organic vegetable oils (rapeseed, coconut, sunflower and/or soya), distilled and refined to a clear, odourless, slightly sweet liquid.

Glycerin is a humectant: it draws moisture into the skin and helps hold it there. Choose the organic grade for certified organic and natural formulations, including creams, lotions, serums, hair care, soap and bath products.

Available from 1kg up to a full 260kg drum, with full technical documentation on request.

INCI Listing: Glycerin

How it’s made

Steam distilled

Steam gently draws the aromatic oil out of the plant material.

  1. LoadedPlant material is packed into the still.
  2. DistilledSteam carries the volatile aromatic compounds upward.
  3. SeparatedThe vapour cools and the oil separates from the water.

What it means for you: Highly concentrated. Always dilute before use, and use the IFRA certificate to set the level for each product type.

Fantastic product

Best glycerin I've used. It's not as heavy as other glycerin and it's derived from vegetable oil. It's easily absorbed. Great ingredient for my hair and skin care products.
