Glycerine—also called glycerol and glycerine— is a colourless, odourless, viscous, and hygroscopic liquid that is non-toxic and non-allergenic. It has moisturising, emollient and protective properties. Its name comes from the Greek “glykerós” which means sweet

Glycerine is produced through the hydrolysis of fats and oils, a process that breaks down triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids. It has a sweet taste and a syrupy texture, making it versatile and valuable for a range of applications. Glycerine is hygroscopic in nature. It is used in the personal care industry because of its moisturising properties. It improves smoothness, provides lubrication, and acts as a humectant.

Glycerine improves smoothness, provides lubrication, and acts as a humectant. Its ability to capture and retain water slows down the evaporation of water from the surface of the skin.

The skin is better hydrated, more supple and protected. Glycerine is also a humectant (wetting agent), which promotes scalp hydration, disciplines the hair and improves curl definition.

CAS 56-81-5

Chemical Formula: C3H8O3

Molecular Weight: Approximately 92.09 g/mol

Synonyms: Glycerol, glycerine, 1,2,3-propanetriol

Appearance: Clear, colourless, odourless, and viscous liquid.

Solubility: Highly soluble in water and miscible with alcohol and acetone.

Density: Approximately 1.26 g/cm³

Boiling Point: About 290°C (554°F)

Melting Point: 17.8°C (64°F)

pH Value: Approximately 7.0 (neutral)

Flash Point: Not applicable (non-flammable)

Viscosity: High viscosity, contributing to its syrupy consistency.

Refractive Index: Around 1.47

Hygroscopicity: Glycerin is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts and retains moisture from the air.

Biodegradability: Glycerin is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

Humectant Properties: Acts as a humectant, drawing moisture to the skin.

Raw Material Source Vegetable oil including oils from soya, rapeseed, and sunflower. 100% free of palm oil derivatives

Manufacture Glycerin is produced by the traditional method by hydrolysis of fats and fermentation of sugars (saponification of neutral oils) using alkali carbonates as in the production of soap.
