CFI Vegetable Glycerine - Food Grade is a pure, refined humectant used in food applications and body care formulations where moisture retention and a smoother texture are wanted. It is a sugar alcohol, not an oil, so it blends easily into water-based systems and syrup-like mixtures rather than oil-only formulas.
Palm-derived and highly water soluble, it is commonly used to add body, help hold moisture, and improve the feel of both edible and topical formulations. This is a versatile ingredient for recipes and formulations, not a ready-to-consume product on its own. Why we love it: It is one of those quietly essential ingredients that earns its place across both practical formulation and everyday making.
Easy to work with and broadly useful, it brings moisture-supporting performance and a smooth, dependable feel without unnecessary fuss.

Q: Why is Vegetable Glycerine added to DIY body care? A: It is commonly used as a humectant to help attract and retain moisture in water-based products.

A: Yes. In food and formulation contexts, vegetable glycerine is glycerol, and it may also appear as E422 in food ingredient declarations.
