There are 3 types of Glycerin:
- plant derived - a natural byproduct from plants (typically palm, soy, or coconut but can actually be any plant) during soap production.
- synthetic - produced from Propylene (a petroleum derivative) or from corn syrup or cane sugar.
- animal based - a natural byproduct of animal fats during soap production.
ESSENTIAL DEPOT'S Vegetable Glycerin is considered the best and favored for most uses because it is Palm Derived (see table below).
