ESCENTIA - Vegetable Glycerine - 500ml

Escentia Vegetable Glycerine is a versatile, plant-derived base ingredient supplied in a generous 500ml bottle, ideal for those who regularly craft their own skincare, haircare and wellness formulations at home.

This clear, odourless liquid has a naturally thick, syrupy consistency and is prized for its exceptional humectant properties. As a humectant, vegetable glycerine draws moisture from the environment and binds it to the skin, helping to maintain hydration and suppleness. It is widely used as a base ingredient in homemade lotions, creams, serums, toners and body washes.

Beyond skincare, vegetable glycerine serves as an excellent carrier for herbal tinctures, particularly for those who prefer alcohol-free extracts. It also works well as a natural hair conditioner, helping to soften strands and reduce frizz without leaving a greasy residue. In DIY soap making, it contributes to a smoother lather and a more moisturising finished bar.

The 500ml size from Escentia offers practical value for regular formulators, reducing the need for frequent repurchasing while ensuring you always have a reliable supply of this essential base ingredient on hand. It blends easily with water, essential oils and other carrier ingredients, making it a straightforward addition to virtually any personal care recipe.

Vegetable glycerine is generally well tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin, though a patch test is always recommended before first use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its quality. This product is intended for external and cosmetic use.
