Some information:





Hmm. One wonders. Enclosed in a circle or not? http://www.cvs.com/bizcontent/merchandising/productimages/large/5042814212.jpg



Kosher Glycerin isn't recognized in the USP. That name is, arguably, "clearly distinguishing and differentiating from any name recognized in USP."

You're really grasping at straws here, and I'm not sure what your trying to accomplish. Having the entire text, written within a graphic, which is in the shape of a circle, doesn't violate their requirement. What they mean is that the letters "USP" can't have a circle around it separately from everything else. The official USP "seal" for dietary supplements has an oval around it. What I find humorous, though, is the Walmart brand Glycerin you recommended says "for external use only". But, for some reason you are willing to look past that, but not the "food grade" label on the ED bottles....even when the ED glycerin has a higher level of purity.

They don't call it "kosher glycerin USP". It is labeled as "Glycerin USP - Kosher".

BTW...Have you even attempted to contact them about your concerns? Or do you just like to smear the reputations of companies with nothing but assumptions? I actually took the time to email them to ask some questions and they got right back to me, and told me to feel free to call them with any other questions or concerns.

Interesting discussion. I'm just getting into DIY'ing and appreciate the back and forth, the more we learn, the better.

I would suggest Heathbar firing off an email to essential and "grilling" them. You seem to know a ton about this stuff so going straight to the source might be wise.

I'm not sure if agree with this. All we know about Heathbar is that he says he has a degree in chemistry. We don't know the level of the degree, or he actually has one, and his input in this thread about the labeling requirements doesn't seem any more knowledgeable than most other people here. IMO, a true scientist would verify their assumption before publicly calling out a company for falsely claiming the purity of a product.

You may not be trolling purposely, but I do think you are spreading fear without any solid facts to back it up. I still don't understand why you think why "Glycerin USP" from Walmart which has "For External Use Only" and 99.5% purity written on the label would be safer than "Glycerin USP" from ED which has "Food Grade" and 99.94% purity written on the label. When anyone counters your arguments, you seem to just ignore their posts and/or questions, and try to prove your point in another way. If you really care about this, and want people to take you seriously, then it would be in your best interest to explain actual facts with references and your actual educational background. Without all of that information you could be a barista at Starbucks for all we know. I have the feeling that, if you do have a chemistry degree, that it either isn't a high level degree, it has very little to do with expertise in this area (USP labeling and/or verification), or you have a degree but very little real world experience. I could be completely wrong, but I'm sure other feel the same as I do based on your posting style and they way you talk down to others here.

I'll give them a phone call and report back.
