Refined Glycerine 99.7% Min USP
Refined Glycerine is a water-miscible, transparent, faint-free, sugary, syrupy fluid. Also referred to as Glycerol or Glycerin, it is extensively utilised across food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products. Glycerine is harmless to human health and the ecosystem, making it a safe and adaptable ingredient. It is frequently employed as a sweetening agent in food products and as a skin-softening agent in personal care formulations to deliver lubrication and hydration. Furthermore, glycerine functions as a blending agent in numerous industrial applications. At our oleochemical facility, Refined Glycerine is a secondary product of fatty acid and fatty alcohol manufacturing. It is entirely sourced from natural plant-based origins—specifically palm oil and palm kernel oil—rendering it a sustainable and renewable ingredient.

Production Process
At Gayanis Oleochemicals, our Natural Palm Oil-Based Refined Glycerine is typically obtained as a byproduct of soap manufacturing, where it is separated from fatty acids during the saponification process. The resulting glycerine undergoes a series of refining steps to remove impurities, ensuring high purity and quality. It is 100% derived from natural palm oil sources.
Hydrolysis Process
Hydrolysis of fats & oils yields fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol is purified & concentrated to produce refined glycerine at 99.7% USP quality. High-purity, vegetable-based
