NOW Foods Vegetable Glycerine is 100% pure USP-grade glycerine derived from vegetable sources — a versatile, sweet-tasting, water-soluble humectant used extensively in natural personal care products, DIY cosmetics, herbal extractions, and food preparations. As a humectant, glycerine draws moisture from the air into the skin, making it a foundational moisturizing ingredient in lotions, serums, soaps, and hair care products. In herbal preparation, vegetable glycerine is used as an alcohol-free solvent for glycerite tinctures — ideal for children or those avoiding alcohol. In food applications, it adds sweetness (approximately 60% as sweet as sugar) without significantly impacting blood glucose. NOW Foods provides USP pharmaceutical-grade vegetable glycerine sourced from non-GMO vegetables, free from synthetic additives, in a 16 fl oz bottle.
