Glycerin USP made by Rougier

[Mario99]

Hi,
Is the Glycerin that you find in the skin care department at Walmart made by Rougier safe to use?

USP = safe, but don't you use the British tag BP?

Actually USP doesn't necessarily mean it's all vegetable glycerin. The Humco brand in US Walmarts is vegetable according to Humco. But not all USP glycerins are - some have animal glycerin which isn;t as good for vaping. Call the company that makes the UK brnad and ask them. You can also use the glycerine sold for cake-decorating applications - I think it is used in some kinds of icings? In the US Wilton is usually the brand and it's sold in the cake decorating section of Michael's craft stores.

Glyerin/glycerol whether the source is from animal or vegetable is the exact same chemical formula in the end. The animal/vegetable thing is only a personal concern having nothing to do with the quality or the actual make up of the product.
