Thread: Glycerin

I always find glycerin at the drugstore in the band-aid aisle right beside the witch hazel.

It was Beside The Band Aid At Our Wal-Mart. I had looked on Wal-Mart.com to see what it looked like but once I got it the lables were different same mfg.

I bought mine from the first aide section of the pharmacy section of my local super market. If you can't find it by the Vaseline, look on the top shelf. That is where I found mine. Oddly enough the female technician didn't have a clue, but the pharmacist told her to look on the first aid isle.

I got mine at Fredmeyer groceries (part of the Kroger,OFC chain), top shelf, near the vaseline etc. Amazon also carries a variety of brands in some pretty decent amounts for the small amount of research I did on the A.com site.

Yeah my local Walmart did the same they thought I needed suppositories. I was like "Do I look constipated to you?"

I checked out my target $7.xx and your local Rite-Aid has it for $8.50 as well



Unfortunately both those stores don't have the regular and only in Rose Petal. I've only used it once.

I need to check to see if local CVS/Longs Drugs have them.

The bottle on the left is the brand I got at Publix (Publix may be only in the South East.)

OK, I bought the glycerin a couple of months ago and add about five drops after I have worked up a fair lather in my cup. Now, I am not entirely sure what glycerin does. Does it stabilize the lather so it doesn't dry out so quickly. This was the purpose I bought it for. Or does it increase the lather. I just can't tell for sure.

Like everyone else has said, next to the band aids

It actually helps keep the skin nice and soft. It also makes the lather better in some way, I think it makes the lather more consistent and in general softer.

Glycerin is used in soap making (for those who like home made soap) and I know glycerin soap is used by some people who has skin issues. I just didn't know what it does for soap. The soap I use is a glycerin based soap but does make a denser lather if I add glycerin to the lather I make.

The above pic is what I've got too. And I got it at walmart. Next to the Phx. Ask the Pharm, people. $2.50 a bottle
