Vegetable Glycerine 99

Vegetable glycerin 99.5% USP/BP binds water and retains it in the skin and in the product. As a humectant , it is added to creams, serums, tonics, shampoos, shower gels and toothpastes to prevent their content from drying out and to keep skin supple after application. It also serves as a solvent for water-soluble active ingredients and plant extracts. It is produced from rapeseed and sunflower oil of European origin and purified by neutralisation, refining and distillation to a purity of 99.5% . It meets the requirements of the USP and BP pharmacopoeias, giving it pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food-grade quality, making it suitable for products intended for children and sensitive skin. Key benefits Skin hydration – attracts water from the air and from the deeper layers of the skin to its surface. This is most noticeable in leave-on products, where glycerin remains on the skin. Protection of the product from drying out – creams, gels and pastes retain their consistency longer, a skin forms less readily on the surface and the product is easier to spread.

USP/BP quality – suitable also for oral care products, intimate hygiene and children's cosmetics. Use in formulation It belongs to the water phase .
