Glycerin, also known as Glycerol, is a clear, colourless, viscous liquid widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, personal-care and industrial applications. It is a polyhydric alcohol with excellent water-miscibility and hygroscopic properties.
Glycerin is an important pharmaceutical excipient used as a humectant, solvent, plasticizer, viscosity-modifying agent and formulation aid. It is suitable for a wide range of oral, topical and other pharmaceutical formulations when the appropriate grade is selected.
Swapnroop Pharma supplies Glycerin in India for pharmaceutical manufacturing, formulation development, cosmetic, food and industrial applications according to the required grade and specification.
Pharmaceutical-grade Glycerin is commonly used as a humectant, solvent, plasticizer, sweetening agent and viscosity-modifying excipient.
Its strong affinity for water makes it useful for maintaining moisture and improving the physical characteristics of selected formulations. Glycerin can also act as a solvent or co-solvent for certain active and inactive ingredients.
Glycerin is the common name for Glycerol. It has the molecular formula C₃H₈O₃ and a molecular weight of 92.09 g/mol. Its CAS Number is 56-81-5.
Glycerin is a clear, colourless, hygroscopic and viscous liquid. It is miscible with water and alcohol and has a relatively high boiling point.
Glycerin is used in:
Glycerin performs several functions in pharmaceutical formulations. It can act as a humectant, helping retain moisture, while also contributing to viscosity, texture and formulation stability.
In selected dosage forms, Glycerin may also serve as a solvent, plasticizer or sweetening agent. The appropriate concentration depends on the formulation and intended route of administration.
Pharmaceutical-grade Glycerin can be used in oral, topical and other formulation processes where a high-purity polyol is required.
Its miscibility with water and compatibility with many formulation ingredients make it useful in formulation development and manufacturing.
