I'm really not sure about the glycerin. I do know that I stopped using it as it just didn't seem "right" and tastes chemically to me. Very disappointing. I then boughtWildcrafted Vanilla Powder, 100% Pure Raw by Wilderness Poets This stuff is raw, pure, so fantastic I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. I'm now addicted to it and went back and bought 4 oz of it too just to make sure I don't run out. Please give that a try.

Glycerin is an organic compound known more formally as glycerol. Its common sources are animal fat and vegetable oil. Glycerin is a clear, odorless liquid at room temperature, and it has a sweet taste.

I had this question, too. It says it's Kosher so I think it should be, but I'm not sure.

I can't answer you if the collagen and glycerin is animal or plant base. But surely, it does not contain any alcohol. After using it your face will look fresh, shiny, vitalized and younger looking. I'm satisfied with this product...

From their old web siteVegetable 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.

I think its either water or food colored veggie oil.....but not like a thick substance......it seems like its water based

It says on the label " The vegetable glycerine contained in this product is considered food grade." To me that means it is edible. It also says it is derived from Non-GMO palm oil or vegetable oil. It sounds to me that it is. I have never used it for that purpose, but it sounds like it could be.

I bought it because a wonderful book I have about digestive health said it was from grass fed animals. However, I checked the container and it does not say this anywhere on the can. It is the only gelatin that our health food store carries, so I assume it is the most natural around. Their website does not say "grass fed" either. Just looked.

Hello, thank you for taking interest in our products! The clean liquid inside is an oil (glycerin) based substance--not water. - Customer Service.

No. From my research and use, all I have found is that the ingredients are all natural, with mental and eucalyptus, and with no type of animal ingredients. From the tube itself, Aqua, Stearic Acid, Cocos nucifera Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Glycerin, Lactic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Menthol, Camphor, Eucalyptol, Eucalyptus globulus Leaf Oil, Pentaerythriytyl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Sodium Metasilicate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Hydorixyethylcellulose, Sodium Hyrdoxymethylglycinate, Geraniol, Parfum. Hope this helps.

None, this is a vegan product. Cholesterol only occurs in animal foods and this is a plant based protein.

Glisodin is plant based, but I don't believe pure SOD is. Prior to the development of Glisodin animal sources were the only place for SOD, but it was essentially inneffective. Unless they've found a different source for something similar to Glisodin I have to assume this is animal based.

The ingredients (though written mostly in Arabic) do not mention glycerin and the product itself doesn't seem to have an oily or viscous nature-it just seems to be water mixed with an alcohol extractive of roses (most likely rosa glauca, from India)-but nothing about it strikes me as "glycerin-like".

Everything I've read says yes it is 100% plant based. But, I can only go by what I read. I am very satisfied with the product though.

This is what is on the label: Natural vegetable glycerin, water, biotin, alfalfa, parsley, kelp and rosehips

There are non-animal capsules, but these are typically marked "vegetarian capsule" or "Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose" or maybe the inconsistent "vegetarian gelatin". Anything like this that just says "gelatin" is almost certainly animal-based.
