Vegetable glycerin is a clear, odorless and viscous liquid with strong moisture-binding properties. It attracts and retains moisture in the upper layers of the skin, helping to maintain natural hydration while improving softness and elasticity. Suitable for DIY cosmetics, skincare and hair care.

Benefits for the Skin

Powerful humectant — attracts and retains moisture.
Reduces dryness, flakiness and tightness.
Makes the skin smooth, soft and well-hydrated.
Enhances penetration of other cosmetic ingredients.
Does not clog pores and is suitable for all skin types.

Benefits for the Hair

Helps retain moisture inside the hair shaft.
Reduces frizz and static electricity.
Adds smoothness and natural shine.
Suitable for adding to hair masks and conditioners.

How to Use

Glycerin can be added to creams, serums, lotions, toners, gels, used in soap making, facial masks and hair care formulas.

Recommended concentration: 3–10%. Pure glycerin may cause temporary tightness, so it should be diluted with water or water-based products.

Ingredients (INCI)

Glycerin (100% vegetable glycerin).

Storage

Store in a tightly closed bottle.
Keep in a cool, dry and dark place.
Storage temperature: +5 °C … +25 °C.

Warnings

For external use only.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not use if sensitive to the ingredient.
In case of irritation or allergic reaction, discontinue use and consult a doctor.

Additional Information

Studies show that glycerin can improve skin hydration for up to 24 hours, supports the repair of the skin barrier, increases elasticity and reduces dryness and roughness. Glycerin is recognized as a safe cosmetic ingredient (GRAS status).

What It Is

VITATEKA Glütseriin (Taimne) 100ML is a 100% vegetable glycerin cosmetic ingredient — clear, odourless, and ready to blend into skin and hair formulas. It does not act like a heavy oil and does not leave a greasy film, making it suitable for many texture preferences and skin types.

How It Works

Glycerin is a humectant: it binds water and helps hold it in the upper layers of the skin and on the surface of the hair. This can make skin feel more supple and reduce the feeling of roughness or tightness. In hair products, it helps the hair shaft retain more moisture, so lengths may look smoother and a little shinier.

Because it blends well with many water-based cosmetic ingredients, glycerin is widely used in DIY skincare and home cosmetic formulas, including:

Hand and foot products
Soaps and cleansers
Creams, gels, lotions and toners
Face and body masks
Restorative hair masks and conditioners

When People Choose It

This product is a practical choice for those who enjoy adjusting ready-made products or creating simple DIY blends. Common situations include:

Dry skin after washing — a few drops added to a body lotion or cream for extra softness, especially during colder months
Dry-looking hair lengths — mixed into a hair mask to help strands appear smoother and less prone to frizz
Hand and foot care — incorporated into formulas exposed to frequent washing for a softer finish

Usage Notes

Because glycerin is very effective at binding water, it is generally better used diluted rather than applied on its own. Pure glycerin may feel sticky or create temporary tightness on some skin. For external use only. If you have very sensitive skin or scalp, a patch test before use is a sensible step.

Customer Questions

VITATEKA Glütseriin (Taimne) is 100% vegetable glycerin, a clear and odourless cosmetic ingredient. Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it binds water and helps hold moisture in the upper layers of the skin. This is why it is often added to creams, lotions, gels, toners, masks, soaps and cleansers.For most uses, it is better not to apply pure glycerin on its own. Because it binds water very effectively, undiluted glycerin can feel sticky and, for some people, may create a temporary feeling of tightness. A more comfortable approach is to add a few drops to a portion of body lotion, hand cream, foot cream, toner, gel or mask shortly before application, then mix it well in your palm or in a small clean container.It can be especially useful when your skin feels dry after washing or during colder months, when creams may need a little extra humectant support. Start with a small amount so you can judge the texture: if the product becomes tacky, you have likely added more glycerin than your skin prefers. Apply only externally, avoid the eye area unless your formula is designed for that use, and patch test first if your skin is very sensitive.

In hair care, glycerin works by helping the hair shaft retain moisture on the surface. When mixed into a restorative hair mask or conditioner, it may make dry-looking lengths appear smoother, softer and less prone to frizz. It is most relevant for the mid-lengths and ends, rather than the scalp, especially if your concern is dryness in the hair fibre.A practical way to use it is to mix a few drops into the amount of hair mask or conditioner you are about to apply. Blend it thoroughly, distribute through damp lengths, leave the product on according to the instructions of the mask or conditioner, then rinse if that product is rinse-off. Avoid adding a large amount directly to the whole jar unless you are confident in your formula-making, because changing a finished product can affect its texture and how pleasant it is to use.If your hair feels sticky, heavy or coated after use, reduce the amount next time or use it less often. Glycerin is not a heavy oil and does not leave a greasy film, but too much humectant in a hair product can still feel tacky. If you have a very sensitive scalp, do a small patch test or keep the mixture mainly on the hair lengths.

VITATEKA vegetable glycerin is suitable for people who make simple DIY cosmetics or adjust ready-made products. It blends well with many water-based cosmetic ingredients and is commonly used in hand and foot products, soaps, cleansers, creams, gels, lotions, toners, face and body masks, hair masks and conditioners.Its main role is to improve the moisturising feel of a formula. On skin, it can help reduce the sensation of roughness or tightness and make the surface feel more supple. In hair products, it helps support moisture retention on the hair shaft, which may make the lengths look smoother and slightly shinier. It is clear and odourless, so it should not normally add colour or fragrance to a blend.For simple home use, mix only the amount you need for one application, especially if you are adding it to a finished cosmetic product. Use clean hands or tools, close the bottle after use, and avoid introducing water or dirt into the bottle. Store it as you would other cosmetic ingredients: tightly closed, away from unnecessary heat and direct sunlight. It is for external cosmetic use only, not for eating or for use as a medical product.
