Glycerin

CosIng describes GLYCERIN as a polyhydric alcohol.

What is the INCI name for Glycerin?

Glycerin

INCI is the standard naming system for cosmetic ingredients. It helps you identify names on a product label. A name is not a safety approval.

This record does not group compounds that only contain glycerin or glyceryl in a longer ingredient name. It does not establish origin, grade, concentration, safety, quality, or product performance.
