What is the difference between USP and Ph. Eur. glycerine?
They are two pharmacopoeias, American and European, each setting its own purity requirements and analytical methods. Many refined glycerines meet both: the certificate of analysis confirms this for each batch.
Does vegetable glycerine come from palm?
It can come from palm, rapeseed, soya or coconut, depending on the producer. If origin matters to you, let us know: we offer palm-free or RSPO-certified batches.
