Glycerine
Glycerine is a naturally occurring plant-derived compound found in vegetable oils and fats, and it has been used in soapmaking and personal care products since the late 18th century following its discovery during the soapmaking process. Historically, glycerine became valued for its versatility and was incorporated into soaps, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical preparations as natural production methods advanced. Today, vegetable glycerine is widely used in all-natural soaps, lotions, creams, shampoos, and skin care products, where it functions as a plant-based moisturizer and helps create smooth, stable formulations.
