Cleansing Oil
- Glycerin makes a good base for facial cleansing oils. It is a natural product that can soften dry skin with a nice cooling effect. It is also good to use on sensitive skin with the addition of aloe vera gel. Mix glycerin with liquid castile soap for an effective cleanser. Add essential oils such as rosemary or peppermint for added scent. The essential oils helps to calm your nerves especially if you use lavender or chamomile oil.
Clear Soaps
- Vegetable glycerin makes attractive clear soaps. It is easy to work with too. Add dyes and essential oils to create soap. Be aware, because of its tendency to draw moisture from the air, that it will dissolve more quickly than normal bar soaps. Refrain from using glycerin soaps on your face in dry environments to prevent moisture loss.
Herbal Preparations
- Its sweet taste makes it a good base for herbal preparations that may contain bitter or sour-tasting herbs. Glycerin mixed with baking soda, salt and peppermint essential oil creates pleasant-tasting toothpaste that whitens your teeth. You can purchase the glycerin online as it is quite hard to find in supermarkets.
Facial Creams
- Glycerin can be added to facial cream for added moisturizing and soothing effects. Mix with sweet almond oil, liquid lecithin and melted beeswax. Add rosewater and essential oils for a mix and match of your own scent. As with any product, discontinue use if you experience redness or other reactions when using products with glycerin.
Hair Conditioner
- Glycerin makes an effective conditioner, bringing moisture to dry hair. To help heal damaged hair, add aloe vera to glycerin for a moisture-rich conditioner.
Household Uses
- Glycerin has applications that make household products. Grease molds and cupcake pans for easy removal after baking. Prevent hydraulic jacks from freezing with a little glycerin applied to exposed surfaces.
Good luck fnding the glycerin! Happy always:)
