Product Overview

Glycerine is a "Tri-hydric Alcohol" derived naturally. It is odorless but has a sweet taste (60% as sweet as sugar). Its key property is Hygroscopy, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air, making it indispensable for keeping products moist and soft.

  • Safe & Pure: Our USP grade is free from diethylene glycol (DEG) and ethylene glycol, ensuring safety for cough syrups and oral intake.
  • Solvent: Excellent solvent for food flavorings and colors where alcohol cannot be used.
  • Emollient: Softens and smoothes skin in lotions and soaps.

Mechanism: The Hygroscopic Magnet

Why is it "Tri-Hydric"?

Glycerine has Three Hydroxyl (-OH) Groups in its chemical structure. Propylene Glycol has only two.

  • Triple Moisture Lock: These three groups act like super-magnets for water molecules. They form strong hydrogen bonds with water from the air.
  • Result: When applied to skin or added to a cake, Glycerine holds onto water tightly, preventing the product from drying out even in dry conditions. This makes it a superior humectant to PG.
