Is vegetable glycerin the same as glycerin for your skin (found in the band-aid isle)?

Let me start off by saying that glycerin and vegetable glycerin are usually the same thing. Some hair care companies will specify where the glycerin is derived from and list it as vegetable glycerin. In most cases when it says glycerin, it is vegetable derived. This is because vegetable glycerin is the cheapest and the most readily available to manufacturers. In vegan products, the glycerin would be derived from a vegetable base, as well. In conclusion yes, it is. Glycerin, any glycerin is a humectant in most products. The only time it is not a humectant and can be an emollient is when it is used in very, very small amounts. I hope this helps and just in case you have any more questions I'll be glad to help out....

my order is the Stevia liquid, I just checked the bottle, and there is no glycerin in it...not sure about the one called Stevia Glycerite, that may be the one I purchased once at my local health food store, it's thicker and more jell like, I prefer the liquid, hope this helps.

No,joint juice is vegetable based, unlike other glucosamine products which are shellfish based.

Not sure I understand your question entirely, but the glycerin is a separate ingredient that's added to the goat's milk soap base. It's not explicitly stated if the goat's milk is organic, therefore I'd assume not.

From their old web site Vegetable Glycerin (67%) - Inert substance derived from palm and coconut. Used as a carrier for the active ingredient. We use only food-grade vegetable glycerin that tests free of pesticide residues.

As far as I know, the ingredients stated are the only ingredients. Glycerin is not a required ingredient in this type of soap.

From what it says on their website: SOD found in melons and vitamin c. My skin is sensitive and I thought it was wonderful.

They are the same thing. Both are a face wash, not a moisturizer or lotion.

I don't think using vegetable glycerin would pose a problem. It really depends on what the end use is. VG doesn't pick up flavors or scents as rapidly as Propylene Glycol, so you will have to allow for extra time for your extract to infuse with the glycerin.

Are you comparing this SAME Basic Organics Vit E ointment with salve by the SAME company? Your question doesn't contain any specifics: for eg.: what you are wanting to use if for? rash? dry skin? moisturizer? Do you need some sort of medicinal properties/product? If you google or do web search for Salve/Ointment - they are the SAME thing, however, I'm sure depends on manufacturer claims/ingredients. To me, they are the same. This product is just a basic, no frills, natural product - contains Aloe Vera, Wheat Germ Oil, and Vit E. Been using for YRS - hope they NEVER change it nor discontinue it. I LOVE it. Use tiny amount, warm/rub between fingers/hands to warm/melt and apply, a little goes a LONG way. Use it on my feet, lips, face, hands - all day long on my hands. It has consistency bit heavier than Vaseline. Is it greasy? Yes, it's ointment, however if you melt/warm it and blot after, not any different than lotions. I'll say it again - I LOVE this product!

As I understand it, the gel caps and veggie caps would be the same. Unless you are using it as part of a diet to fight cancer. The gel caps contain geletin, which is animal based. The diet to fight Cancer is strictly animal free, vegen. Hope this helps.

The glycerin is derived from soy and/or palm. Soon it will only be derived from palm.

20% glycerine (a sugar alcohol) and 80% water. Both are listed as the inactive ingredients. In other words, it is 100% sugar water and contains no measurable amount of active ingredients. At least they are being truthful about that since by law they can only list what is actually in it, not what was (possibly) once in it and removed through any process, real or magical. 2014 and snake oil is still not only a thriving industry but even being foisted on helpless animals. Yikes.

natural glycerin, it is vegan approved and fit for a raw, "whole" foods diet.

Tay, Glycolic acid is listed as the third ingredient on the list, but there is no percentage shown for this ingredient. Personally I have experienced some slight stinging when I apply the product and some redness, but no peeling like you would expect from glycolic acid. Hope this helps.

Yes, this contains gelatin. I suspect the gelatin is from an animal source, as the glycerin content is listed as "vegetable glycerin". They also contain soy.
