99% Pure Glycerine Used in Cosmetic Manufacturing

Introduction of the product

History of Discovery
Glycerine, first discovered by Scheel in 1779, was named Glycerine in 1823 when it was recognized that the oils and fats contained Chevreul, the Greek word for sweet. During the First World War, the production of glycerine increased dramatically because it was used as a raw material in the manufacture of gunpowder.

Glycerine, also known as glycerin, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H8O3 and is a simple polyol compound. It is a colorless, odorless, sweet-smelling viscous liquid that is non-toxic. The glycerol backbone is found in lipids called glycerides. It is widely used in FDA-approved wound and burn treatments because of its antibacterial and antiviral properties. Conversely, it is also used as a bacterial culture medium. It serves as a useful marker for measuring liver disease. It is also widely used as a sweetener in the food industry and as a humectant in pharmaceutical formulations. Due to its three hydroxyl groups, glycerol is miscible with water and is hygroscopic.
What is the role of glycerin in cosmetics?

Glycerine used in cosmetics is generally more than 98% (optimal for the United States Pharmacopoeia USP grade glycerin, i.e., cosmetic grade glycerin), the dosage of about 5 to 15%. Because glycerin is a hydrophilic organic matter, there are many uses in cosmetics:
(1) Glycerine is highly absorbent and moisturizing.
Glycerin is known as glycerol, alcohol substances are infinitely miscible with water, such as ethanol (alcohol). Glycerin has a characteristic of strong water absorption (1 gram of glycerin can adsorb 0.6 grams of water), so glycerin can absorb the water in the air to the skin moisturizing, but also can lock the water in the skin, the water will remain in the stratum corneum, do not let it lose.
(2) Glycerine is natural and harmless
Glycerin is a natural product, water-soluble, harmless to the skin, non-toxic, and is recognized as safe (GRAS) for humans.
(3) Glycerine is highly compatible
Glycerin is compatible with many substances and mixes well with antioxidant properties, so it can be used as a base, emollient, humectant, lubricant and solvent in a variety of skin care products.
(4) Glycerine strengthens skin resistance
With regular and frequent use, it can be a good way to help the skin heal, reduce the occurrence of associated dermatitis, and restore the normal barrier function of the skin. Glycerin absorbed into the intercellular layer can also make sebum work better.
