What is pharmaceutical glycerin?
Pharmaceutical glycerin offered by Centro-chem is a chemical compound with wide applications in medicine, pharmacy, and cosmetics. It is a completely colorless, transparent, odorless substance, though slightly sweet in taste, and somewhat viscous. It is characterized by properties essential in pharmaceuticals, including moisturizing, soothing, and protective attributes, which is why it is exceptionally popular among manufacturers of creams and ointments. It fully meets the stringent quality standards required in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
Physicochemical properties of pharmaceutical glycerin
Pharmaceutical glycerin is a highly hygroscopic liquid with a rather unusual consistency, being thick and viscous. The substance dissolves easily in water and alcohol but does not mix with fats, exhibiting excellent moisturizing properties – essential in pharmaceuticals – as well as emulsifying properties. At room temperature, glycerin remains stable and does not undergo noticeable degradation. This makes it an ideal ingredient for medicines and cosmetics with a very long shelf life.
Applications of pharmaceutical glycerin
Pharmaceutical glycerin is a highly versatile ingredient with a range of applications far greater than one might expect.
- Moisturizing ingredient in cosmetics and dermocosmetics. Due to its strong hygroscopic properties, glycerin retains water in the skin, helping to prevent dryness. It is used in creams, lotions, and ointments, improving skin elasticity and supporting its regeneration.
- Excipients in medicines and supplements. Pharmaceutical glycerin is used by manufacturers as a carrier for active substances. It is employed in syrups, eye drops, and dermatological preparations.
- Laxative in the form of glycerin suppositories. An interesting fact is that glycerin stimulates bowel peristalsis, effectively aiding in bowel movements. Due to this benefit, it is used in medicine as a safe and effective laxative for both children and adults.
- Ingredient in oral hygiene products. Glycerin can also be added as an ingredient in mouthwashes and toothpastes. This is because the substance has moisturizing and soothing properties, helps maintain the proper consistency of these products, and improves their taste.
- Base in disinfectants and antiseptics. The moisturizing properties of glycerin are crucial. Thanks to these properties, the substance helps prevent skin dryness when using disinfectants based on irritation-causing alcohol, including antibacterial gels.
