Vegetable Glycerine

Glycerin

Plant-Derived • Humectant • Cosmetic Ingredient

Simple, versatile and incredibly useful, our Vegetable Glycerine is a plant-derived cosmetic ingredient valued for its ability to attract and retain moisture within cosmetic formulations.

With its clear appearance and naturally viscous texture, Glycerine is one of those formulation essentials that can find a place in everything from creams and lotions to serums, cleansers, haircare and body products.

Simple. Versatile. Formulation essential.

What makes Vegetable Glycerine special?

Glycerine is a humectant, meaning it attracts and holds water.

This makes it an incredibly useful ingredient when formulating products designed to help maintain moisture, and it is widely incorporated into skincare, body care and haircare formulations.

Unlike the botanical oils in our collection, Glycerine is water-soluble, making it particularly useful in the water phase of emulsions and other water-based cosmetic formulations.

Its versatility makes it a staple ingredient for both simple and more advanced cosmetic creations.

Can Vegetable Glycerine be used on its own?

Vegetable Glycerine is primarily supplied as a formulation ingredient and is generally incorporated into cosmetic formulations rather than being used undiluted on its own.

Its naturally thick and sticky character means it is particularly well suited to being combined with water and other cosmetic ingredients at an appropriate formulation level.

Beyond Organic Skincare supplies this product as a cosmetic ingredient for use in cosmetic formulations.

Did you know?

Glycerine is found in an enormous variety of everyday cosmetic products — sometimes without you even realising it.

Look at the ingredient list of many creams, lotions, cleansers, serums and haircare products and you'll often find Glycerin near the beginning.

Although our product is called Vegetable Glycerine, the cosmetic INCI name you'll see on ingredient lists is simply Glycerin.

Perfect for creating

Creams • Lotions • Serums • Cleansers • Facial Care • Body Care • Hand Care • Haircare • Shampoos • Conditioners • Water-Based Formulations

It is particularly useful when you want to introduce a classic humectant into a cosmetic formulation.

Storage & Important Information

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container securely closed when not in use.

Glycerine is hygroscopic, meaning it readily attracts moisture from its surroundings, so keeping the bottle properly closed is particularly important.
