365 by Whole Foods Market Moisturizing Vegetable Glycerin is a clear, water-soluble humectant that softens skin and supports DIY cosmetic and beauty formulations.

Made from plant-derived glycerin and packaged in a convenient 16 fluid ounce bottle, this vegetable glycerin is formulated to hydrate, condition, and help retain moisture in topical applications.

Because it dissolves easily in water, it’s a practical building block for homemade lotions, serums, cleansers, and hair treatments.

How will this glycerin improve my skin care routine?

As a humectant, vegetable glycerin attracts and holds moisture on the skin surface, helping it feel smoother and more supple after application. It’s commonly used in small percentages inside leave-on products or mixed into water-based sprays to boost hydration without greasiness.

• Draws and retains moisture for improved skin softness
• Works well in serums, mists, and hydrating masks
• Lightweight, non-oily finish when diluted properly
• Compatible with many water-based ingredients

Can I use this glycerin for hair and scalp treatments?

Yes — when formulated correctly, vegetable glycerin helps condition hair by preventing moisture loss and adding slip for easier detangling. Use it sparingly in blends or dilute in water to avoid stickiness, especially in humid climates where it can attract excess moisture.

• Add to leave-in conditioners for conditioning and shine
• Use in pre-shampoo treatments to boost softness
• Combine with carrier oils for improved spreadability
• Adjust amounts based on humidity to prevent tackiness

How do I mix and store vegetable glycerin for DIY uses?

Vegetable glycerin dissolves readily in water and blends well with many cosmetic ingredients. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the bottle tightly sealed to preserve quality and prevent contamination.

• Mix with distilled water or floral waters for hydrating sprays
• Combine with essential oils only after proper dilution in a carrier
• Use clean utensils and containers to avoid introducing microbes
• Store at room temperature, tightly closed, away from heat

What should I know about safety and ingredient standards?

365 by Whole Foods Market applies strict ingredient policies and bans many controversial substances, so this glycerin aligns with higher product-safety expectations. While generally well tolerated, perform a patch test if you have sensitive skin, and avoid using it near mucous membranes or open wounds.

• Produced under the brand’s ingredient safety guidelines
• Free from common problematic additives listed in brand policy
• Suitable for cosmetic formulations when used properly
• Patch test recommended for sensitive skin types

Who is this for? This 16 fl oz vegetable glycerin is suited to home formulators, beauty hobbyists, and anyone seeking a versatile, plant-derived humectant for skin and hair care. It’s ideal if you make your own lotions, sprays, or conditioners and want a reliable, water-soluble ingredient that meets stricter ingredient standards.
