Vegetable Glycerin is added to soap in order to produce extra moisturizing properties and to ensure a clear finish. It is easily dissolved into water and alcohol, but does not mix well in oils.
This product has hygroscopic properties. This means it will easily absorb water from the surrounding air. If your container of glycerin is left open, it will absorb water and it will stabilize at 20% water and 80% glycerin. The taste would blister because glycerin is dehydrating. When water is used to dilute it, however, it makes the skin soft.
Vegetable Glycerin is high in viscosity and is colorless and sweet tasting. It has a high boiling point and freezes as a paste. The most common uses are in soap and other beauty products like lotions. Although, it is common in many other applications.
