Glycerin (USP / Cosmetic Grade)

What is Glycerin?

Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a clear, viscous liquid with excellent moisture-attracting properties. It is one of the most widely used ingredients in cosmetic, personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations. Due to its ability to attract and retain water, Glycerin plays a crucial role in improving skin hydration, product texture, and overall formulation performance.

Glycerin supplied by Avex International is suitable for professional formulation use and meets the quality expectations of cosmetic and laboratory applications.

Functional Role of Glycerin

Glycerin functions primarily as a humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the environment and helps retain it within the product and on the skin or hair surface. This property makes Glycerin essential in formulations where long-lasting hydration and smooth texture are required.

Key functional benefits:

• Strong moisture-binding ability

• Improves skin softness and elasticity

• Enhances product spreadability

• Stabilizes formulations
