Vegetable Glycerin USP


Vegetable Glycerin USP is approved as a food additive for food and medical use applications.

Vegetable Glycerin is added to soap in order to produce extra moisturizing properties and to ensure a clear finish. It is easily dissolved into water and alcohol, but does not mix well in oils. 

USP labeling implies that it conforms to all the legal requirements of the FDA and that it was produced in accordance with the principles outlined in FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices.
Other nations have compiled an official national pharmacopeia, similar in scope and is labeled as USP. Currently, there is a collaborative international program to harmonize the Glycerin monographs in the USP and in the European Pharmacopeia.
