English Name: Vegetable Glycerin
French Name: Glycérine Végétale
Also Known As: Glycerol, Plant-Based Glycerin
Part Used: Natural glycerol extracted from vegetable-based oils
Description: Vegetable Glycerin is a clear, colourless, odourless liquid derived from plant-based oils, most commonly coconut or palm. It is produced through hydrolysis or saponification, where natural fats are separated to release glycerol. The finished glycerin has a smooth, syrup-like consistency and a naturally mild, slightly sweet taste. Its transparent appearance and stable structure make it a widely used ingredient across food, cosmetic, and craft applications.
After extraction, the glycerin is carefully refined and filtered to achieve a high level of clarity and purity. This process removes impurities while maintaining its natural viscosity and moisture-attracting properties. The result is a clean, free-flowing liquid that remains stable under normal storage conditions and blends easily with both water-based and oil-compatible ingredients.
Vegetable Glycerin appears as a crystal-clear liquid with a silky texture and consistent thickness. It pours smoothly and mixes evenly, making it easy to measure and incorporate into formulations. Its neutral aroma allows it to combine well with herbs, essential oils, flavourings, and botanical powders without altering their natural characteristics.
Uses: Vegetable Glycerin is commonly used in culinary preparations such as baked goods, beverages, syrups, and flavour extracts where mild sweetness and smooth texture are desired. It is also widely used in cosmetic formulations including lotions, creams, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and personal care blends. In addition, it is suitable for herbal tinctures, botanical extracts, bath products, crafting projects, candle making, and educational demonstrations of plant-based liquid ingredients. Its liquid form allows for precise measuring, easy blending, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and dependable performance across a wide range of applications.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
