Vegan Glycerin
Glycerin, also commonly called glycerol, is a colorless, odorless and non-toxic liquid with a sweet taste. Glycerin, which is miscible with water and alcohol, can be natural or synthetic. Natural glycerin is produced as a result of the hydrolysis of animal or vegan fats. Hydrolysis is the reaction of a substance with water and, as a result, the breakdown of a chemical bond. It is produced by chemical processes involving synthetic glycerin, petroleum, propylene and chlorine.
