Hi gays
In the US it's called USP and yes, it's fine (I use it myself) It costs more for a small amount but is handy to be able to get it at local stores.Hello @Alan.m, as long as it's Pharmaceutical (BP or equivalent) grade it's fine to use.
I suspect that OP just went to local drug store and got some VG... that's all he/she wanted anyway.
I am sorry it's my fault ⚘Anytime gay.
