Vegetable Glycerine - 300ML

Vegetable Glycerine is a thick, clear humectant derived from vegetable oils and used widely in cosmetic formulation to attract and hold water. It is highly soluble in water and alcohol, which makes it easy to incorporate into toners, gels, cleansers, creams, and hair products. This version is cosmetic grade and made from sustainably sourced palm and palm kernel oil, so it is a formulation ingredient rather than a finished skincare product.

It is not an oil, even though it comes from vegetable oil sources. Why we love it: We choose to stock Vegetable Glycerine because it is one of the most useful workhorse ingredients in DIY cosmetic making. It brings moisture support, flexibility, and ease of use across many formula types, and the RSPO-certified palm and palm kernel sourcing makes it a more responsible fit where palm-derived ingredients are needed.
