CHEMKG GLYCERIN

General Description

CHEMKG GLYCERIN is a simple polyol compound, also known as glycerol. It is a colorless, odorless, and viscous liquid with a sweet taste. It is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts moisture from the environment. CHEMKG GLYCERIN is derived from both natural sources (like vegetable oils) and synthetic processes, making it a versatile and widely used ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products.

Uses in the Cosmetic Industry

CHEMKG GLYCERIN is extensively used in the cosmetic industry due to its humectant properties. Key applications include:

• Helps draw moisture into the skin, maintaining hydration.
• Prevents skin from drying out by retaining moisture.
• Adds softness and sheen while reducing frizz.
• Used as a sweetener and to maintain smooth consistency.
• Used to improve product texture and application.

Hazards

CHEMKG GLYCERIN is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in cosmetics. However, potential concerns include:

• Rare but possible in individuals with sensitivity, especially in high concentrations.
• If not properly purified, CHEMKG GLYCERIN can contain harmful impurities.
• Aerosolized forms (e.g., in sprays) can be irritating to the respiratory tract.
