Natural Palm Oil-Based Refined Glycerine
Glycerine is typically obtained as a byproduct of soap manufacturing, where it is separated from fatty acids during the saponification process. The resulting crude glycerine undergoes a comprehensive refining process to ensure high quality and purity.
The refining process involves purification steps such as filtration, distillation, and ion exchange. These steps remove contaminants such as residual soap, water, and other impurities, yielding high-quality refined glycerine.
The hydrolysis of fats and oils breaks them down into fatty acids and glycerol molecules. The glycerol is then further purified and concentrated to produce Refined Glycerine 99.5% USP grade, suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Refined Glycerine 99.5% USP is used across multiple industries due to its functional versatility and safety including:
Refined Glycerine 99.5% is a common ingredient in skincare products, such as moisturizers, lotions, creams, and soaps. It helps to attract and retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and smooth.
Refined Glycerine 99.5% is used as a sweetener and food additive in baked goods, confectionery, beverages, and dairy products. It also acts as a humectant to prevent moisture loss and maintain texture and shelf life. Additionally, it serves as a solvent and carrier for flavors and food colorings.
Refined Glycerine 99.5% utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as an excipient—an inactive carrier or diluent in medication formulations. It functions as a solvent, humectant (moisturizer), and sweetener in various medications, including cough syrups and liquid pharmaceuticals.
Refined Glycerine 99.5% has applications in industries such as chemicals, textiles, and paints. It can be used as a solvent, lubricant, and antifreeze agent due to its low toxicity and high boiling point.
