Description
Our Vegetable Glycerine is a clear, colourless and odourless plant-derived liquid with a thick, syrupy texture. It is a humectant, which means it attracts and holds moisture, and it mixes easily with water, hydrosols and aloe vera gel.
A little goes a long way. Add a drop or two to your moisturiser, or a little to a homemade facial mist or body spray with rose or lavender hydrosol, to help skin feel hydrated. Too much can feel sticky, so start small.

- Mixes easily with water, hydrosols and aloe vera gel
- Plant-derived, in sizes from 200ml to 4 litres
Pairs well with: Aloe vera gel, rose hydrosol, lavender hydrosol, sweet almond and lavender
