NOW Foods Solutions, Vegetable Glycerin, 100% Pure, Versatile Skin Care, Softening and Moisturizing, 16-Ounce

This vegetable glycerin is derived from non-GMO palm oil. It acts as a humectant, preserving skin moisture levels, and softening the skin. It works well in skin care formulations as one of the ingredients. The glycerin is scent free, and the package arrived securely, there were no leaks.

Great Multi-Purpose Vegetable Glycerin Review: This vegetable glycerin works very well for skincare and DIY beauty products. It helps keep the skin hydrated and soft without feeling heavy or greasy. I like using it mixed with lotions, facial mists, and homemade beauty recipes. The quality feels pure and gentle on the skin, and a little goes a long way. The bottle size is convenient and easy to use. Great value for anyone looking for natural moisturizing support. Highly recommended for skincare, hair care, and DIY beauty routines.

NOW products, in my experience, are excellent quality. This vegetable glycerine (AKA glycerin or glycerol) certainly is excellent. I use it as-is to condition my fingernails after removing polish. It quickly hydrates and moisturizes the nail bed and prepares it for another go-round with polish or nail treatments. You can even add it to your bottle of nail polish remover to make the remover less damaging to your nails. I also use it along with shea butter, cocoa butter, and sometimes coconut oil and avocado oil when I make my own lotions or creams. By whipping it into warmed shea butter, I can create the viscosity I want -- everything from almost liquid lotions to chunky squares (actually, I use a silicon tray with heart shapes) of moisturizing "butter." Some people mix it with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to make a teeth whitening toothpaste. I tried that but prefer my Colgate Optic White. There is a lot of misinformation about glycerine on the internet, so you can get bogged down in a lot of false leads if you're not careful. I could not find any scientific studies that supported the charge that glycerine damages teeth and I found articles by medical professionals that say it does not. In any event, I didn't like the homemade whitening toothpaste, but I did find a GREAT way to use it. Clinical (double-blind, etc.) studies show that arginine and calcium carbonate are good for teeth. So I took a couple of tablets of each, ground them up and mixed them into a paste with 2/3 ratio of glycerine. The "paste" that results makes teeth healthier and less likely to experience pain when whitening products are used. On my skin, I do not like the feel of glycerine when used undiluted; I always have to mix it with something. In fact, I have read from reliable sources that it can draw so much moisture from the lower layers of skin that it can cause blistering if used at 100%. I've never had that experience because I mix it with ingredients like shea and cocoa butters. That said, my nails and skin are healthier than ever and I'm saving money because I no longer buy commercial lotions. Glycerine is an emollient and humectant that is well-documented as a remedy for dry, rough, itchy skin and minor skin irritations such as diaper rash, so I know I am not just imagining a "placebo effect". As an ingredient that is found naturally in the skin and that helps skin retain its healthy, barrier function, it is very effective and very helpful. Love it!

Mixed with your moisturizer. Instantly hydrates your skin for a soft dewy look. Great for winter dry skin.

Love this glycerin and the quality of it. I have sensitive scalp and have been using this brand for several years now. I use in all my homemade products and it absorbs in my hair really well. I love that it’s very moisturizing with no irritation due to no fragrance. Highly recommend, will be ordering a bigger bottle.

This vegetable glycerin works really well and feels high-quality. I’ve used it for different purposes and it does the job every time. It’s clean, easy to use, and a good value for the price.

Amazing! I've been struggling with trying to find a solution for crepey neck skin. This is the sagging tired and old and dehydrated looking neck and striations from the stretched skin in front of the platysma muscle. For me, this is caused by "tech neck" and can apparently and luckily can be reversed with neck strengthening exercises and other whole body posture corrections. I would recommend researching those topics if you have the same issues. Definitely also look into fascia release and how all of the sagging face and neck skin and atrophied muscles in these places are connected to the tension and stagnant lymph in the muscles of your back, shoulders, underarms and chest, etc. We have not been taught about how to move the lymph through the fascia of our bodies and it's essentially like never taking out the trash! Everyone is obsessed with building collagen and I'm here to tell you this is only the first step. If you're not simultaneously working on the improving the flow of your lymphatic system then the collagen structure you're building is useless. Fascia (built from collagen) is the pump that moves lymph through your body. Lots of ways to do this for the face and neck, e.g., gua sha, face yoga, staying hydrated, eliminating sugar as sugar destroys collagen/fascia, face taping. There are so many free resources online. Movement is critical as lymph doesn't move on its own and needs the movement from breathing, muscle contraction, physical activity or massage. Just find a basic routine you can do for a few minutes a day and stick with it. Consistency is key. I completely released the stored up tension in my shoulders and neck and face over a few days with 15-20 minute exercises and have kept it at bay with just a few minutes of massage daily. There were a couple of days when my skin looked super pale and pretty terrible from stagnant lymph finally moving but now my skin tone has evened out considerably and I'm seeing a reduction in the puffiness of my face. My face also feels relaxed and not tense and I think that has helped improve the appearance of both my face and my neck skin. The strengthening and other exercises and practices will take some time, but in the meantime, I cannot be walking around out here so self conscious. Summer is approaching and turtlenecks will raise eyebrows now lol. Retinol seems to be ineffective on my skin? Hasn't made a difference. No amount of serums or layering hyaluronic acid with other serums or moisturizer seems to work. But I happened across a tip in a forum that said to add a few drops of glycerin to your moisturizer before slugging and thought what the heck do I have to lose?! I immediately ordered the $4 bottle of this glycerin. I've used it several nights and in the morning when I'm doing my makeup and moisturize my neck as usual. Wowza! What a difference this makes. It makes my neck look about 90% smoother. That little bit of hanging skin right underneath my chin is still there when I turn or flex my neck but the overall crepey, dry and wrinkled look is gone and I can't see the striation lines unless I look really close. My skin actually looks and feels soft and smooth. I'm sure this is temporary and that is totally fine! What I'm doing: After cleansing, applying hyaluronic serum, then my next layer of serums and actives (varies), then my moisturizer (The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors OR Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Cream - both fabulous) mixed with several drops of bakuchiol oil and 2-3 drops of glycerin. I put this on my face and my neck. The glycerin is thick and unscented but is going to remain a bit sticky and moist. It's not going to absorb right away so I wait a few minutes and then I put on a very thin layer Aquaphor to slug. For my morning routine I skip the serums and just do the moisturizer with glycerin and Aquaphor. I can't believe it took me so long to find this basic solution. I'm still working on the long term changes to address the root cause of my skin challenges but this is a fantastic life saver in the meantime. With tax this is less than $5 and using 4-6 drops a day this will last forever. Highly, highly recommend!!

Una maravilla. Es la primera vez que probé usar glicerina para mi piel que tiende a sequedad y sensaciones de tirantez, especialmente en invierno. Y desde la primera aplicación siento la puel cada vez más hidratada, más sana, y ya no tengo nada de tirantez!

Excelente

長年30本くらいリピートしてます。 手持ちの化粧水や保湿クリームに追加したり、直接肌に付けたり。 保湿力がグンと上がるので手放せません。ストック切らさないように常備してます。 母ちゃんも保湿力のるおかげで乳児湿疹できませんでしたし、妊娠線も出来ませんでした。 いつもはハワイで購入。 nowの他の物も購入して楽しんでます。それくらいnowシリーズは期待に応えてくれます。

Ist genau so wie in der Beschreibung. Die Konsistenz ist eher dicker (Wie Jojobaöl). Der Geruch neutral. Es tut meiner trockene Haut sehr gut!

Goede kwaliteit
