Glycerine Vegetable - USP 99.5%
|
INCI: Glycerin
Description: Vegetable glycerin is the result of a sophisticated extraction method called Hydrolysis, with the final product being referred to as Vegetable Glycerin. This system is based on the fats and oils of a raw product (typically palm or coconut) that are then split into crude glycerol fats, under the combined action of water, temperature and pressure. These temperatures can exceed 400° degrees and the material is usually kept under pressure for 20-30 minutes. What is actually occurring is a sort of counter-flow where the water absorbs glycerol from the fatty acid phase of the oil production. After this phase this glycerol is isolated and further distilled to give buyers a standard 99% Glycerin product (our New Directions Variety is actually 99.5%).
Vegetable Glycerin is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid. It is used as an agent in cosmetics, toothpaste, shampoos, soaps, herbal remedies, pharmaceuticals, and other household items. Because it is soluble in both, water and alcohol, its versatility is a major benefactor in its purported growth and popularity within the manufacturing sector. It is invaluable as a natural source ingredient with emollient like properties which can soften and soothe the skin and it assists the outer epidermis to retain moisture. This helps to explain why it is one of the most popular cosmetic additives used today.
Shelf Life: 1 -2 years
Please Note: As with any manufacturing process, New Directions Aromatics encourages small, lab scale manufacturing for evaluation purposes prior to full commercial manufacturing.

I use this in my mouthwash and detox deodorant.
Excellent thickener and sweetener!
Wish it were packaged in a glass bottle, however.

I have just received my first order from your company. I am VERY pleased with the prices and also the quality of your products. I received my order even sooner than I expected so I will continue ordering and have already recommended it to another soap-making friend.

I use this product in making salt scrubs and bath salts as it blends well with carrier and essential oils. Leaving a nice smooth, yet not greasy feel to the skin. It is clear and odorless, with an indefinite shelf life.
