Key Benefits

Thickener
Glycerine can be used as a thickening agent in various cosmetic formulations, giving products a desirable consistency and texture. Best mixed with Xanthan Gum to make gels.

Stabiliser
Glycerine likes to keep things together. It prevents ingredients from separating in your cleaning mixtures, so your products stay strong and effective.

Moisture Lock
Glycerine's humectant properties help retain moisture, preventing cleaning products from drying out too quickly. This is particularly important for products like liquid soaps and dishwashing detergents.

Moisturiser
Renowned for its moisturising abilities. It attracts and retains moisture from the air, helping to hydrate the skin and hair. It's often found in lotions creams, and hair conditioners.

Emollient
Glycerine forms a protective layer on the skin's surface, helping to locks in moisture, so your skin stays soft.

So handy for mixing in the xantham gum

No more clumpy liquid hand soap - mixing the xantham gum into the glycerine before mixing into the soap mixture make the biggest difference.
