Crude Glycerin 85% - Palm Oil-Based Crude Glycerin with 85% Glycerol Min., is a dark brown liquid, derived from trans-esterification of virgin crude palm oil (Elaeis guineensis). It is 100% vegetable oil-based and kosher- as well as halal-certified. Crude Glycerin 85% can be refined to technical grade Glycerin (95 – 97% of Glycerol) as well as United State Pharmaceutical/ British Pharmaceutical (USP/ BP) Grade Glycerin (99.5%).
