Thats where I get mine from. Its priced pretty fairly for a decent amount too. The bottle may look small, but using 5tsp in each 250g tub it will go a long way.

Hobbs Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 At the Wal-Mart near me there is USP grade glycerin in the pharmaceutical section, it took me a long time to find it, and I ended up asking 3 or 4 employees but it's there. It's like $4-$5.Worse comes to worse, hit me up and I can make a deal with you, I have 4 or 5 bottles of it floating around, and I've barely used 2-3 ounces so far.

It's like $4-$5.I have been searching and searching for glycerin for a long ass time. The only glycerin I can find is the stuff in the pharmaceutical section made for soothing the skin. I remember someone on the thread saying NOT to use this stuff and that vegetable glycerin is the only safe kind to use. BUT, I can't find it anywhere and my town doesn't have a Michael's. I have heard that glycerin is used as a sweetener for diabetics, so I tried the diabetic stuff section of walmart and no luck. Also heard that it is used to put on baby's pacifiers to get the baby to use it, so I tried the baby section and no luck again. I would rather not have to order it off amazon or anything, anyone have any suggestions??? Is the skin therapy glycerin ok to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the skin therapy glycerin ok to use?I have 2 different brands of Glycerine, both state that it can be used as a skin protectant.. I think that's just a general use for glycerin. They both say USP grade vegetable glycerine so as long as it states that on the bottle, I don't see a problem. If you buy a glycerine that's made with animal fat or something else, then it would probably taste foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The magical glycerine place that no-one else seems to know of:YOUR LOCAL CAKE/BAKING SHOP!!!! They're almost certain to have a good price on it too, and it'll def be food grade.Whole Foods also but I hesitate to give their overpriced asses more business.

Arcane Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 This is where I got mine...I figured it was food safe seeing as it's being promoted as a low-GI sweetner.http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/now/veg.htmlBtw, it even mentions being USP grade and being a low-GI sweetner on the bottle if you're wondering.

echotc Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Michael's, it's used for making icings, so it will be in the baking section. You can probably find bigger bottles for cheap online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColibriDon Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I buy mine at a local organic foods/health store. The price is good and it's a small local place that I like to give business to...also you might be able to find some organic teas that are great.
