Vegetable Glycerin

Vegetable Glycerin is an organic, plant-based compound with clear, viscous and odorless properties. Also referred to as glycerol or “VG” for short, Glycerin is most typically derived from soy, palm or coconut oils. With its many adaptable and non-toxic properties, Glycerin is becoming more widely used for many different products in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, beauty and skin care, nicotine and vaping, and can even be found in many household products such as candles or cleaning agents.

As a consumer, you want to be sure you are using the highest quality USP glycerin; therefore it is important to understand the difference between Crude Glycerin and Kosher USP Glycerin. Crude Glycerin is made as a waste product, or byproduct, through the process of manufacturing biodiesel fuel. Kosher USP Glycerin is derived from plants and has undergone a highly refined process, thereby only retaining its most pure and natural properties, making it so safe you can even eat it!
