Glycerin is a neutral, sweet-tasting, colorless, thick liquid which freezes to a gummy paste and which has a high boiling point!. Glycerin can be dissolved into water or alcohol, but not oils!. On the other hand, many things will dissolve into glycerin easier than they do into water or alcohol!. So it is a good solvent!.
Glycerin is also highly "hygroscopic" which means that it absorbs water from the air!. Example: if you left a bottle of pure glycerin exposed to air in your kitchen, it would take moisture from the air and eventually, it would become 80 per glycerin and 20 percent water!.
