Glycerol, also called glycerine in British English and glycerin in American English, is a simple triol compound. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. The glycerol backbone is found in lipids known as glycerides.

Glycerin is used as an ingredient in a variety of food and beverage products to help retain moisture, prevent sugar crystallization, and add bulk, smoothness, softness, sweetness and texture. Like most sugar alcohols, glycerin is not as sweet as sugar—it is about 60–75% as sweet.

Vegetable glycerin liquid is a clear, odorless, and slightly sweet-tasting liquid that is made from vegetable oils such as soybean, palm, or coconut oil. It is a type of chemical known as a glycerol, which is a type of alcohol that has three hydroxyl groups (-OH) in its molecular structure.

Vegetable glycerin liquid is commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries due to its moisturizing and emollient properties. It is used as a humectant, which means it attracts and retains moisture, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products such as lotions, soaps, and facial serums.

In addition, vegetable glycerin liquid is also used as a sweetener in some foods and beverages due to its sweet taste. It is also used as a solvent, helping to dissolve and mix ingredients together.

Vegetable glycerin liquid is considered safe for use in food and personal care products and is generally recognized as safe by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, it is important to note that some people may have a sensitivity or allergy to glycerin and should avoid products that contain it.
