Application of Glycerine

  • Humectant: Glycerine acts as a powerful humectant, drawing moisture from the air to keep skin hydrated and soft in skincare formulations.
  • Softener: Used in fabric softeners and detergents, glycerine penetrates fibers, reducing static and enhancing softness.
  • Solvent: Owing to its solubility, glycerine functions as a solvent in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products.
  • Sweetener: As a natural sweetening agent, glycerine provides mild sweetness in food and beverages without sharply increasing blood sugar levels.
  • Preservative: Glycerine’s antimicrobial properties help preserve formulations, extending product shelf life and maintaining stability.
