Glycerol

Glycerol, also known as glycerin or glycerine, is a simple polyol compound with the formula C₃H₈O₃. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. The backbone of all lipids known as triglycerides, glycerol is produced on a massive scale as a byproduct of soap manufacturing and biodiesel production. Its hygroscopic nature—its ability to attract and retain water—makes it a highly effective humectant. This property leads to its widespread use in food products as a sweetener and thickener, in pharmaceuticals and personal care products like moisturizers and soaps, and as an antifreeze component.
