Glycerine anhydrous
Anhydrous glycerin is used in particular in the cosmetics industry and pharmaceuticals is because of its moisturizing properties. In biology and medicine it is used as an emollient for gel formulations. It acts as a solvent for many poorly soluble substances and improves their bioavailability.
The special suitability of glycerin is due to its chemical properties. It is a trivalent alcohol that has high water solubility and hygroscopicity. These properties make it particularly useful in formulations that require moisture or are intended to draw water.
Chemically, glycerin reacts as an alcohol, with its hydroxyl groups capable of forming ester bonds. This behavior enables its use in a wide variety of syntheses and chemical reactions.
Compared to similar products, anhydrous glycerin stands out because of its high purity and minimal water contamination. It offers improved stability and longevity for applications where water is undesirable, such as in anhydrous cosmetic formulations and some pharmaceutical applications.
