Vegetable Glycerine

Completely Vegetable derived (extracted from coconut), Vegetable Glycerin can be found in a variety of skincare products and is often used as an alternative to alcohol to extract botanicals. Glycerin is used in moisturisers to stop skin drying out and in the formulation of skincare products to deal with psoriasis, rashes, burns, bedsores and cuts.

Uses

Vegetable Glycerine is perfect for adding to your blends or existing products to give them that Silky Smooth texture and feel, leaving skin feeling silky soft and glossy.

Use in very small amounts in your blends for maximum effect, it can also aid the bonding of oils and blends so that they combine in your ingredients.
