Glycerine - It use in Natural Skin Care Products

Glycerine is a clear, colourless, odourless syrupy liquid with a sweet and warmish taste. It is obtained by hydrolysis of fats and oils of either vegetable or animal origin. It is considered soothing, laxative and antispetic and to some extent, nutritious and dissolves readily in water and alcohol. It has a history of use as a flavouring agent in medicines and is used in herbal medicine for its preservative properties and to extract medicinal compounds from herbs.

Used in cosmetics for its humectant (water attracting and holding capacity) and skin soothing properties, vegetable glycerine is a component of Wildcrafted Milk of Roses Toner.
