Product details

NOW Foods Vegetable Glycerin is a 100% pure, water-soluble humectant made from non-GMO palm oil that softens, hydrates, and helps condition skin and cosmetic formulations.

Whether you formulate homemade lotions, dilute serums, or want a simple skin hydrator, this large 32-ounce bottle of vegetable glycerin delivers a long-lasting, single-ingredient solution. NOW® Solutions glycerin is made in the USA from globally sourced ingredients, comes in a clear bottle with UV light protection, and is produced under NPA A-rated GMP standards. It’s vegan-friendly and not tested on animals, offering a reliable base for personal care and DIY beauty projects.

How will this glycerin improve my skin-care routine?

As a humectant, vegetable glycerin attracts and holds moisture at the skin’s surface, helping skin feel softer and appear smoother. It blends readily with water-based ingredients, making it easy to incorporate into toners, masks, and leave-on products without altering texture.

  • Maintains hydration by drawing moisture to the skin
  • Softens rough or dry areas when used alone or in blends
  • Mixes seamlessly with water for DIY serums and sprays

Can I use NOW glycerin in my homemade cosmetics and how?

Yes — this pure glycerin is ideal for DIY cosmetics because it’s a single ingredient with a long shelf life and low oxidation risk. Use it as an emulsifier booster in cream recipes, a humectant in lotions, or a solvent in botanical extracts to enhance texture and moisture retention.

  • Add 2–10% to lotions to improve slip and hydration
  • Use 1–5% in serums or facial mists for added moisture
  • Combine with oils and emulsifiers for stable creams and balms

Is this product safe and sustainably produced?

The glycerin is derived from non-GMO palm oil and produced under rigorous quality controls—NOW® holds NPA A-rated GMP certification and runs analytical testing for purity and stability. The product is not animal-tested and is packaged in a clear bottle equipped with a UV light protectant to preserve quality.

  • Non-GMO palm oil source documented
  • NPA A-rated GMP quality assurance and lab testing
  • Not tested on animals; vegan-friendly formulation

How should I store and use the 32-ounce bottle for best results?

Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; the UV-protectant bottle helps but proper storage extends shelf life. Use a clean dropper or measuring spoon to avoid contamination, and dilute with water or other cosmetic ingredients according to your recipe.

  • Store at room temperature, away from heat and sunlight
  • Use sanitary tools to dispense and avoid introducing water into the bottle
  • Small amounts go a long way—start low and adjust concentrations

Who is this product for: NOW Foods Vegetable Glycerin 32 oz is well suited for DIY beauty makers, professional formulators, and anyone seeking a dependable humectant for daily skincare. It’s particularly useful for people looking to thicken or stabilize cosmetic recipes, boost moisturization in home remedies, or simplify a skincare routine with a single, versatile ingredient.
