What it is
Glycerin is the INCI name for the ingredient whose Portuguese name is Glicerol. The technical record describes it as a polyhydric alcohol and lists Glycerine, Glycerol (INN), Glycerol (RIFM), Glycerolum (EP), Glycyl Alcohol, and 1,2,3-Propanetriol among its identified chemical names. These names help identify the same substance when technical documents use different nomenclatures. The record does not provide a concentration, a final product effect, or a specific mode of use for this substance.
What it does in a formula
The technical record associates Glycerin with denaturant, hair conditioning, humectant, oral care, skin protecting, solvent, and viscosity-controlling functions. It also lists perfuming, fragrance, and skin conditioning as a humectant. These classifications describe roles that may be assigned to the ingredient in a formula. They do not establish which role applies to a particular product, since that depends on the full composition and how the ingredient is used.
Conditions and care
The record consulted does not list a restriction, maximum concentration, condition of use, or other specific standard for Glycerin. There is therefore no additional technical limit to reproduce on this page. The absence of these fields is not a safety assessment. It also does not, on its own, establish suitability, risk, or conditions of use in a specific formula.
