Glycerine, or glycerol, is a component of animal and vegetable fats. Vegetable glycerin is one of the most commonly used base components in the manufacture of creams, emulsifying with other oils to give them their properties. Vegetable glycerine is liquid at a temperature of 25º, it is hygroscopic and colourless. You can also find glycerine base soap, in this case it is not pure glycerine, but it is a sum of components that give you a glycerine base soap in bar form so that you can make your own glycerine base soaps.
