A colourless, sweet viscous liquid derived from vegetable fats. It is often a by-product of the soap-making process, which separates the glycerine from the fatty acids in the oil. In this case the Glycerine is extracted from RSPO palm sources.
Glycerine is a humectant or water binding additive. It performs several functions in a formula including increasing solubility of some actives (herbal extracts, perfumes etc), acting as a moisture reservoir to prevent a product from drying out and/or as a cost-effective skin conditioning agent.
Raw material origin: naturally derived from palm
Extraction method: Esterification of vegetable oils
Suitable for: Skincare, makeup, haircare, cleansing products, baby care
Use level: 1-5%
Formulation tips:
Note: While glycerine is self-preserving it is not a preservative. High levels of glycerine in a formula may impede microbial growth, however this is usually higher than the average cosmetic formula can bare therefore making this an impractical way to keep a product preserved.
