Glycerine 86 % (vegetable), n. PH. EUR, non-gmo
What is glycerine ?
Glycerol is the common name for popane-1,2,3-triol. It is a trivalent alcohol, a polyol. Glycerine is obtained from the splitting of animal and vegetable fats.
Where is vegetable glycerine contained?
Vegetable glycerine is used in cosmetics, for example in lotions or creams, and as a formulation component of hand sanitisers due to its water-binding and fat-blocking properties. It is also used as a base product in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Due to its sweet flavour, vegetable glycerine is often contained in food supplements, e.g. in dietary products. It is also used as a base for e-cigarettes, liquids and shisha tobaccos.
What is vegetable glycerine used for?
Thanks to its flavour and ability to bind water, it is often used in the food industry as it prevents baked goods and other foods from drying out. However, it has a wide range of uses, including in the cosmetics industry as a moisturiser and in pharmaceutical applications. It is also used as an antifreeze in technical applications and in the food sector and is also used as a lubricant or plasticiser in gelatine coatings. It is also used as a solvent, carrier and solubiliser for flavourings, colourings, antioxidants, tobacco and enzymes.
How is glycerine produced?
Glycerol is produced by splitting fats.
The alcohol can also be produced chemically as a by-product in soap production. In the past, mainly animal fats were used for this purpose.
Another very important way to obtain glycerol is in biodiesel production. Here it is produced as a by-product through the transesterification of vegetable oils with methanol.

For the food sector, for cosmetic and chemical-technical applications. Application Glycerine, which was originally obtained as a cleavage product during the splitting of oils and fats, is now obtained on a large scale in the production of methyl esters as part of the production of sustainable fuels. There it is produced as a by-product, which is refined into glycerine in further refining and purification processes in accordance with the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.). Glycerine has a wide range of applications, as its product properties offer a broad spectrum of possible uses. Due to its water-binding and moisturising properties, it is used in cosmetics such as lotions, creams or as an ingredient in hand sanitiser formulations and serves as a base for skin and leather care in general. Due to its slightly sweet flavour (hence its old name: oil sweet), it is also used as a food supplement, e.g. in dietary products or in pharmaceutical applications, and as part of the base for e-liquids (e-cigarettes). With its low-temperature properties, it serves as a powerful antifreeze in both the technical and food sectors. Glycerine is even authorised as a food additive E422 in the EU. With over 800 possible applications - from lubricants to foodstuffs - glycerine is one of the most important products in the oleochemical industry.
