Glycerin (Glycerin), Glycerol (Glycerol)

Glycerin, Glycerol is a clear, viscous liquid obtained from the hydrolysis of fats and a mixture of oils as a by-product of soap production. Glycerin is used as an emollient in the preparation of many skin preparations, as well as a laxative (especially in suppository form) and a sweetener in pharmaceutical production.



Glycerin is a transparent, odorless, viscous liquid obtained from natural vegetable oils or animal fats. Glycerin is a by-product of soap production and is used in a variety of cosmetic and medicinal products such as creams, lotions, ointments, shampoos and other skin care products.

Glycerin is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a laxative, especially in the form of suppositories. It can also be used as a sweetener for confectionery and other products.

Additionally, glycerin can be used to make other products such as cosmetics, lubricants and solvents.

Overall, glycerin is an important ingredient in many cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, and its use continues to increase every year.



Glycerin and glycerol are widely used in various industries. One of the main applications of both products is in the cosmetics industry, such as in the production of creams, lotions, shampoos, balms and other skin care products.

Glycerin is a transparent, viscous, colorless liquid with a sweetish taste and a specific odor. It is a by-product of soap production and is a mixture of glycerin and fatty acids that are produced during the hydrolysis of fat. If glycerol is allowed to sit at room temperature for a while, it begins to become thick. The reason for this is the evaporation of water, which is present in glycerol in free form (and not bound in combination with fatty acids). Glycerols are not only glycerols, but also simpler alcohols containing glycerol. They are widely used in various fields because they have valuable properties such as moisture-retaining, moisturizing, moisture-binding, antimicrobial, softening and others. Currently, many cosmetic products contain glycerol.
