NOW Foods Solutions, Vegetable Glycerin, 100% Pure, Versatile Skin Care, Softening and Moisturizing, 16-Ounce

Bought this for my DIY projects and it’s an excellent vegetable glycerin. The quality is very high—clear, odorless, and with a smooth consistency. It works perfectly for my mixes and blends easily without any issues. Great value for the price and exactly as described. I’ll definitely be purchasing again!

NOW products, in my experience, are excellent quality. This vegetable glycerine (AKA glycerin or glycerol) certainly is excellent. I use it as-is to condition my fingernails after removing polish. It quickly hydrates and moisturizes the nail bed and prepares it for another go-round with polish or nail treatments. You can even add it to your bottle of nail polish remover to make the remover less damaging to your nails. I also use it along with shea butter, cocoa butter, and sometimes coconut oil and avocado oil when I make my own lotions or creams. By whipping it into warmed shea butter, I can create the viscosity I want -- everything from almost liquid lotions to chunky squares (actually, I use a silicon tray with heart shapes) of moisturizing "butter." Some people mix it with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to make a teeth whitening toothpaste. I tried that but prefer my Colgate Optic White. There is a lot of misinformation about glycerine on the internet, so you can get bogged down in a lot of false leads if you're not careful. I could not find any scientific studies that supported the charge that glycerine damages teeth and I found articles by medical professionals that say it does not. In any event, I didn't like the homemade whitening toothpaste, but I did find a GREAT way to use it. Clinical (double-blind, etc.) studies show that arginine and calcium carbonate are good for teeth. So I took a couple of tablets of each, ground them up and mixed them into a paste with 2/3 ratio of glycerine. The "paste" that results makes teeth healthier and less likely to experience pain when whitening products are used. On my skin, I do not like the feel of glycerine when used undiluted; I always have to mix it with something. In fact, I have read from reliable sources that it can draw so much moisture from the lower layers of skin that it can cause blistering if used at 100%. I've never had that experience because I mix it with ingredients like shea and cocoa butters. That said, my nails and skin are healthier than ever and I'm saving money because I no longer buy commercial lotions. Glycerine is an emollient and humectant that is well-documented as a remedy for dry, rough, itchy skin and minor skin irritations such as diaper rash, so I know I am not just imagining a "placebo effect". As an ingredient that is found naturally in the skin and that helps skin retain its healthy, barrier function, it is very effective and very helpful. Love it!

I bought this 4-ounce bottle of pure vegetable glycerin to mix into unscented lotions and a few homemade hand creams. It blends easily, adds noticeable softness, and helps lock in moisture without feeling greasy. A few drops go a long way. I usually mix about a teaspoon into a small jar of lotion, and it makes a clear difference on dry skin. The bottle size is perfect for testing out recipes or travel kits. The only small drawback is that the bottle’s tip can get a little sticky after several uses, so wiping it off between uses helps. Overall, it’s a versatile, high-quality glycerin that’s great for DIY skincare or craft projects, and I’d buy it again in a larger size next time.

The product itself is wonderful. There really just isn't enough in the little bottle. I used it all within 10 mins easily.

This glycerin is 100% pure and works beautifully in my DIY skincare and haircare products. It's thick, non-greasy, and super hydrating. I mix it with rose water for a face mist, and my skin stays soft and moisturized. Also works great in hair masks and soaps. No scent, no irritation—highly recommend!

I decided to try this on my dry curly 4b hair to help with moisture and retention. I mix about 1tsp, leave in conditioner 1 cup water and a little oil. I then use warm water to spray my hair. I then spray the mixture in sections. My hair feels softer and more manageable. This acts as a humectant to draw moisture to the hair and skin also. I use it every other day at nights and my hair feels softer in the morning. It is gentle and naturally derived from non-GMO and sunflower oils. It is unscented and perfect for sensitive skin.

Clean, vegetable-based glycerin that works exactly as expected. Great for DIY skincare, hair care, and mixing with creams—no scent, no irritation, and excellent value for a versatile staple.

the best i have used. Makes my skin look and feel moist

Una maravilla. Es la primera vez que probé usar glicerina para mi piel que tiende a sequedad y sensaciones de tirantez, especialmente en invierno. Y desde la primera aplicación siento la puel cada vez más hidratada, más sana, y ya no tengo nada de tirantez!

Excelente
