Refined Glycerine 99.7% USP is a high-purity form of glycerol, a three-carbon polyhydric alcohol also known as glycerin, glycerine or propane-1,2,3-triol. Its molecular formula is C3H8O3 and its CAS number is 56-81-5. It is generally supplied as a clear, colourless, odourless, viscous liquid that mixes readily with water.
Glycerine's affinity for water allows it to function as a humectant in personal-care and food systems. It can also act as a solvent or carrier for compatible ingredients and may contribute sweetness, texture, viscosity and formulation stability. The required quality grade, dosage and regulatory status must be evaluated for each intended food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical or industrial product.

Refined glycerine is used across cosmetics, skincare, toothpaste, mouthwash, liquid medicines, cough syrups, food products, confectionery, beverages, paints, coatings, textiles and chemical formulations. However, a USP designation alone does not automatically establish compliance for every food, drug or cosmetic application; the buyer must confirm the applicable compendial, manufacturing and destination-market requirements.
