Product Type: Raw Chemical
Suitable for: Manufacturing

Glycerine, also known as glycerol, is a clear, colourless, odourless, and viscous liquid which is an indispensable ingredient in various industries. Its unique properties make it an ideal humectant, solvent, and emollient, suitable for a wide range of applications in pharmaceuticals, food, industrial, cosmetics and personal care products.

Glycerine attracts and retains moisture from the air, helping to maintain hydration in formulations and preventing drying or dehydration. This makes it an excellent ingredient in skincare products, such as moisturisers, creams, and lotions.

Additionally, its solvent properties make it an effective ingredient in pharmaceutical applications, such as in the production of tablets, capsules, and ointments.

Glycerine is a natural preservative, helping to extend the shelf life of products, a lubricant, reducing friction and wear on machinery and equipment.
