Glycerine
(Glycerol min 98%)
Botanic Garden’s Glycerin, also called glycerol, is a colourless, odourless, sweet-tasting liquid that has a very thick, viscous consistency. A by-product of the soap-making process, this sugar and alcohol organic compound, is derived from both plant and animal sources and is used extensively in the beauty and pharmaceutical industry for its many benefits for health and beauty. Glycerin has long been used by our mothers and grandmothers and was an essential part of their beauty repertoire.
