Product Overview
Glycerin is a core shampoo and body wash ingredient used by formulators worldwide for humectant and foam stabiliser applications. This USP / EP / cosmetic grade vegetable material is supplied in bulk by VeraVita Biotech for B2B brands, contract manufacturers and private-label producers who need reliable quality, full documentation and consistent supply from China. Whether you are building a sulphate-free shampoo, a conditioning body wash, an anti-dandruff treatment or a mild baby wash, Glycerin is the functional raw material that helps the formula perform.
Key Features
- High-purity vegetable-derived glycerin (≥ 99.5%)
- Powerful humectant that draws moisture to hair and skin
- Improves foam creaminess and skin feel in rinse-off formulas
- Clear, colourless, odourless and non-irritating
- Widely used in shampoo, body wash, skincare and oral care
How It Works
- Humectancy: glycerin is a small, hygroscopic triol that binds water in the stratum corneum and hair cortex, reducing dryness after rinsing.
- Foam stabilisation: viscosity and water-binding properties help stabilise foam films, giving denser, creamier lather.
- Sensorial modifier: reduces the dry, squeaky after-feel of high-cleansing surfactant systems and improves spreadability.
Typical Applications
- Shampoo: moisturising shampoo, anti-frizz shampoo, colour-care shampoo
- Body & bath: hydrating body wash, shower gel, hand wash, bubble bath
- Skincare: cleansers, toners, serums, creams and lotions
- Oral care: toothpaste, mouthwash
- OEM / ODM: moisturising shampoo and body-wash formulations

- Glycerin is stable across typical cosmetic pH ranges and compatible with most actives.
- In anhydrous / low-water formulas it acts as a solvent and plasticiser.
