There are different grades of VG because it is used for many purposes. Make sure you buy USP and preferably Kosher, to be sure it is the safe for ingestion.

You gotta choose, either USP or Kosher. And note there is no such thing as Vegetable Glycerin, USP. Only Glycerin, USP.

Vegetable glycerin is also known as vegetable glycerol. It is a carbohydrate that is usually derived from plant oils. It is used as a sweetener and as an ingredient in a number of cosmetic products. Vegetable glycerin is also used in place of alcohol to extract botanicals.

Glycerin is an organic compound composed of three carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms, and three OH groups. These OH groups form hydrogen bonds with water, slowing down its movement and giving liquid glycerin the property of a syrup. It is also resistant to freezing, a property used in storing sensitive liquids, such as enzymes, in laboratory freezers.

For emergency, it should be available at the pharmacy closest to you or in the baker shop.

Glycerin is also used as medication by wiping it on the lips of babies.

Wilton makes a great Vegetable Glycerin...if you have a cake decorating store or walmart near you, you can find some there. Its pretty thick so you may want to cut it with vodka 50/50. Try it out in small batches at first until you get the right formula for your needs.
