Vegetable Glycerin 2 Pack, Pure VG, USP Kosher Food Grade VG Liquid for Soaps, Lotions, Moisturizers, Solvents, 500mL by Compass Laboratory

When I ordered this I wasn't expecting bottles this large. This is a lot of glycerin. I'm pleasantly surprised. I have tried some out straight from the bottle and it is thick and leaves the skin feeling a little sticky and oily for a few minutes until it absorbs. I then put some in a small squirt bottle and added some water to thin it. I shook it well and rubbed some into my skin. It stayed on my skin for a minute or two and then absorbed well, leaving my skin feeling supple and well hydrated. Everyone in our family suffers from dry skin and this product seems to do a really good job of providing a skin block to seal in moisture. We will use it right after showering and i think it will work well. I believe it could also be added to oils and lotions to give them added protection, but that's just a theory that I haven't yet tried. Back to the size of the bottles; each one holds 16.9 ounces, so the 2 bottles combined are well over a quart. This amount will last us for a very long time, and the price seems reasonable for such a large amount.

For this review, I experimented with different ways to use vegetable Glycerin. I have used up only one-third of one bottle, so this is a lot of Glycerin for your buck. The bottle says it is food grade and Kosher. It also says it is the highest quality available, which is what you want for research and development.I found several recipes that use Glycerin by searching “Best Liquid Glycerin Recipes” and used their recipes to make liquid hand soap and body wash. I even found a recipe for Keto Chocolate Ice Cream. Below are two of the recipes I used. I also read that runners increased their fluid retention by 50% by drinking Glycerin with water before a run.Liquid hand soap: 16 oz. liquid (unscented, Castile soap); 1 tsp. aloe vera gel; 1 tsp. glycerin (vegetable); 1/4 tsp. oils (Lavender and Tea). Mix and bottle.Body Wash: 1 cup filtered water (or distilled); 1/4 cup liquid (Castile Soap Unscented); 1 tsp. glycerin (vegetable); 15 drops essential oils ( Any scent you like). Stir and done.

It is vegetable glycerin, made in the USA, so there you have it.... The only issue I had was that one of the bottles had leaked a tiny bit because of the security seal under the cap was compromised (likely during transit) or from the low temperature outside (ordered in the winter 15F. So I did remove the seal and put the cap back on tight, but if you squeeze the bottle air will definitely escape, so the sealing surface of the cap to the bottle is not all that great either. I would recommend that the product is stored right side up, otherwise you will have leakage, at least I did when I had the bottle laying on the side.

Not sure why you would buy this product.

This glycerin is food grade as well, so you may use it with even more confidence for any application. Glycerin is really fantastic for so many different things. It truly appeals to me. If you only need little amounts, it's easier to use because it arrives in two distinct bottles with squeeze tops. This vegetable glycerin makes me happy.

This is enough glycerin for all your moisturizing needs. It doesn't take much so these bottles will last a long time. Being food grade also allows for more applications.

We bought this Pure Vegetable Glycerin to preserve flowers primarily for seasonal wreath projects. We've cut the flower stems at a 45 degree angle, removed the skin from the last 6mm of the stem, and placed the flowers in the glycerin and water mixture. The stems have been sitting in the mixture for a week. There will be 2 to 3 more weeks of letting them soak up the glycerin into the flower then we'll see how well the flowers have soaked up the glycerin. Once the flowers feel rubbery, they should be on their way to being nicely preserved for months and maybe even a year. This is the first time we've used glycerin to preserve flowers. This product is a great value for the amount of glycerin provided. Just keep the flowers away from pets, since they shouldn't be eating the glycerin.

I'm pleased with this food-grade glycerin. It pours easily and smoothly from the bottle without leaving a mess. It works well in Royal Icing, softening the bite of the icing but maintaining the integrity so that other decorations can be added. The container is sleek, making it easy to hold while squeezing out the contents. The label claims this product is "kosher" yet there is no OU certification stamp. There also is nothing on the bottle identifying whether this vegetable glycerin is organic.
