Is glycerin vegetarian friendly?
Answers: Glycerin can be from animal origin or from plants, there's no way of knowing. It's annoying because you find it in a lot of soaps.
Go vegan! Nope, glycerin is usualyl from an animal unless it states otherwise.
A byproduct of soap manufacture (normally uses animal fat). In cosmetics, foods, mouthwashes, chewing gum, toothpastes, soaps, ointments, medicines, lubricants, transmission and brake fluid, and plastics. Derivatives: Glycerides, Glyceryls, Glycreth-26, Polyglycerol. Alternatives: vegetable glycerin—a byproduct of vegetable oil soap. Derivatives of seaweed, petroleum. no. Only if it says vegetable glycerin. Sometimes they will say whether it comes from a plant source or not but mostly you have to guess. There are many vegetarian products (like soaps and stuff) which must use glycerin from non-animal sources. If you want to make sure to stay away from all animal products, definitely look for the ones that boast about being vegetarian or vegan because even if the ingredients seem to be vegetarian you can never be sure. If so, it will say it's vegetable glycerin.
