Did I get the right glycerin?

[Kavey]

I bought this stuff at wal mart.
The lable has in big letters GLYCERIN. Then under it skin protectant. It has the USP marking above that.
It doesnt say vegetable but it does say preserves leafs and flowers.
Anyone know if this is right or not?

actually this is it right here
Walmart.com: Humco: Skin Protectant Glycerin Usp, 6 oz: Medicine Cabinet

I've heard of people using it with no problem

Glycerin USP is perfect

Walmart.ca: Rougier - Glycerin, Topical Skin Emollient For temporary relief of dry chapped skin and minor burns.

If it's Glycerin USP, it shouldn't have anything else in it

Does it list other ingredients? 8-o

I think food grade glycerine, like Wilton's, is preferable, though this stuff isn't hurting anybody.

It had a bad reaction with me and im afraid I will have to break up with glycerine.
Dont worry glycerine its me, not you.
There are plenty of people out there who want to use you.. im just not one of them.
Good luck in your ventures.

Turns out *by self diagnosis* I think I am allergic to this stuff or something.
*WARNING* dont read my post or some others in this thread while youre eating or shortly after. Or if you just have a weak stomach.. though I tried to keep it as gently worded as possible.

glycerin has two possible sources one is chemical don't use it
the other is plaint derived safe to use. food grade is fine that one is usually used for icings and a alternative sweeter for diabetics.

USP stands for US Pharmacopeia (in the UK it's BP - British Pharmacopeia, etc) and to qualify as USP it has to be of the highest standard in existance!
