How to Use Vegetable Glycerin

Measure vegetable glycerin according to the complete recipe you are following. Because glycerin is concentrated and naturally thick, adding too much can change the feel and performance of a finished product. Begin with a tested formula, prepare a small batch and record your measurements so successful results can be repeated.

Use clean, dry utensils and containers. When a formula contains water, follow appropriate preservation and sanitation practices; glycerin alone does not make a water-based preparation shelf stable. Label homemade products with the ingredients and preparation date.

A Versatile Maker’s Ingredient

Vegetable glycerin works well for customers who want more control over the feel of handmade personal-care products. Keep the bottle tightly closed, store it away from direct heat and sunlight, and clean the cap after pouring to prevent sticky residue. For external-use formulations unless a trusted recipe and the product labeling specifically direct otherwise.
