What Is Vegetable Glycerin?

Vegetable Glycerin is an organic, plant-based compound with clear, viscous and odorless properties. Also referred to as glycerol or “VG” for short, Glycerin is most typically derived from soy, palm or coconut oils. With its many adaptable and non-toxic properties, Glycerin is becoming more widely used for many different products in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, beauty and skin care, nicotine and vaping, and can even be found in many household products such as candles or cleaning agents.

As a consumer, you want to be sure you are using the highest quality USP glycerin; therefore it is important to understand the difference between Crude Glycerin and Kosher USP Glycerin. Crude Glycerin is made as a waste product, or byproduct, through the process of manufacturing biodiesel fuel. Kosher USP Glycerin is derived from plants and has undergone a highly refined process, thereby only retaining its most pure and natural properties, making it so safe you can even eat it!

What does USP Kosher mean?

The standards “USP” and “Kosher” in Vegetable Glycerin refer to the safety and purity tests that the product has received. USP stands for United States Pharmacopeia, which is an organization that was founded in 1820-- that’s earlier than the Food and Drug Administration! The U.S. Pharmacopeia created a set of safety regulations, standards and testing to ensure that all drugs and medications were of the highest quality, purity and potency.

Kosher is a designation that is typically seen in foods, and dates back to early Jewish tradition that can be found in the Bible. This designation means that the food is safe and healthy for consumption, according to Kosher Dietary Restrictions. While this is very fascinating, you might be wondering why this matters in Vegetable Glycerin? This designation matters because it ensures your health and safety in consuming our Vegetable Glycerin!

And yes, a Rabbi literally blessed our Vegetable Glycerin!

How is our VG made?

Our Vegetable Glycerin is palm-derived, 99.7% pure and organic, and USP and Kosher certified. Our VG is made through a process called hydrolysis, which is a reaction created through a high pressure water treatment that results in the chemical breakdown of compounds.

During the hydraulic process, the vegetable oil is exposed to high pressure and heat which then breaks down the ester bonds, separating the glycerin from the fatty acids and allowing it to join the water. The process then continues with a distillation phase to create an even more purified product.

It is important to understand that all Vegetable Glycerin is made up of the same chemical compound: C3H8O3, which is 3 Carbon atoms, 8 Hydrogen atoms, and 3 Oxygen atoms. The only difference in the different types of Glycerin is the process in which it was made.

Not only does the VG create your cloud vapor and act as a wonderful soluble in your e-juice, but it also acts to minimize your throat hit! Many vapers will even change their VG ratio depending on their preferences in vapor clouds and throat hits.
