Frequent Uses Food and drink industryA common additive in many food and drink formulations due to its various properties. Its water binding properties help preserve cakes and biscuits, preventing them from drying. Its viscous texture can add thickness and smoothness to liquids. Soap makingGlycerol is a common ingredient in many soaps, additionally soapmaking is also a way to produce glycerol via saponification. CosmeticsRegularly used in moisturisers, lotions, shampoos and conditioners due to its water attracting and retaining properties, meaning glycerol is a humectant. PharmaceuticalsUsed as a sweetener but also as an excipient to carry the active ingredients. Vapes and E-cigsOften chosen as the basis for the liquids due to the high visibility of the vapour when heated.
