Glycerin (Glycerol, 1,2,3-propanetriol) is a highly purified trihydric alcohol, a clear, viscous, hygroscopic liquid, colorless and odorless, with a sweetish taste. We offer wholesale glycerin, which meets the strict standards of the European (Ph. Eur.) and American (USP) pharmacopoeias. The product is highly stable, non-toxic, and completely miscible with water and alcohols, making it a versatile raw material for the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
The offered product has a purity of at least 99.5% (the actual content of the main substance often exceeds 99.7% on an anhydrous basis). If you are looking for a reliable supplier to buy glycerin wholesale for production, or you are interested in glycerin wholesale prices, our offer guarantees consistent quality and compliance with all safety standards (food additive E422).

Detailed description and advantages
Our glycerin is the quality standard for businesses planning to buy food-grade or pharmacopoeial glycerin wholesale. This product is made from plant-based raw materials (Vegetable Origin) and is GMO-free. Multi-stage purification minimizes water content (<0.5%), and the absence of foreign odors and color (APHA <10) makes it ideal for preserving the organoleptic properties of your final products.
Why order from us:
- Highest purity: The content of diethylene glycol and related impurities is strictly controlled (<0.1%), which is critical for the safety of pharmaceutical and food products.
- Compliance with standards: The product fully complies with Ph. Eur. monographs. (0496) and USP, as well as the requirements for food additive E422.
- Versatility: Glycerin is suitable as a preservative and humectant in cosmetics, as well as a solvent for complex pharmaceutical formulations.
- Logistics: We offer wholesale glycerin in Ukraine with the possibility of prompt delivery to Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Dnipro, and other cities in convenient containers (from canisters to tank trucks).
Applications
Thanks to its unique physicochemical properties and high safety profile, wholesale glycerin is in demand in many industries:
- Food industry (E422):
- Used as a humectant and sweetener in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages.
- Prevents sugar from drying out and crystallizing, improving the texture and volume of baked goods.
- Serves as a solvent for food colorings and flavorings.
- Pharmaceuticals and Medicine:
- The main component (excipient) for syrups, elixirs, and ointments, providing the necessary viscosity and stability.
- You can buy medical glycerin wholesale for the production of suppositories and soft gelatin capsules (as a plasticizer).
- Used as a solvent and preservative For living tissues and vaccines.
- Cosmetology and Personal Hygiene:
- A key humectant in creams, lotions, and toothpastes (prevents the toothpaste from drying out in the tube).
- An ingredient in soaps and shampoos, softening the effects of surfactants on the skin.
- Used in the production of "clean" cosmetics due to its plant origin (Vegetable Glycerin).
- Technical uses:
- Raw material for the production of alkyd resins (for paints and varnishes) and polyurethanes.
- Glycerin and propylene glycol wholesale often Glycerin is purchased for the production of antifreeze because it is non-toxic and biodegradable.
- It is used in electronic cigarettes and the tobacco industry as a tobacco humectant.
Storage Conditions and Safety
To preserve its properties (especially hygroscopicity), the product must be stored in a hermetically sealed container in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.
- Shelf Life: 12 months for bulk products and barrels, up to 24 months in IBC containers under proper storage conditions.
- Safety: The substance is non-toxic, fire- and explosion-proof under normal conditions (hazard class 4). For long-term storage (more than a month), a nitrogen blanket is recommended to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption.
