What's Glycerin?
Glycerin is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid with a sweet taste. It is soluble in water and glycerol but insoluble in most other organic solvents. Glycerin has a wide range of uses, most notably as a component of lubricants, cosmetics, and explosives. It is also frequently used as a humectant, preservative, or sweetener in food and pharmaceuticals. In addition to its industrial uses, glycerin can also be used for medical purposes such as treating constipation or mouth ulcers. Although glycerin is safe for most people to consume, large amounts can cause diarrhea or gastrointestinal distress. When used topically, glycerin can help heal wounds and repair dry or cracked skin. It is also commonly used as an ingredient in soaps and shampoos due to its hydrating properties.
