Thread: Glycerin

I found 99.5%Humco brand glycerin in publix today. It was in the first aid /cosmetics aisle by the antibiotic ointment, not the pharmacy section in the front of the store.

2.99+tax for 6 FL OZ

Maybe we can all chip in on the 55 gallon drum...

You sound like me trying to find Castor oil to make pre shave oil. It's with the laxitives. I wonder if continous use is a bad thing. Does it absord into the skin.....?
Anyway, I have never seen Glycerin anywhere, but then again, I live in Jacksonville, Fl.
They have nothing here. I do know you can find it at Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more. Thanks to internet, everything is within my grasp. It normally comes in a clear bottle, some are small, 2oz and up. The Glycerin itself is clear. I would think a pharmacy would have it for sure, or at least point you in the correct aisle....

I bought mine at Publix. I know you have Publix grocery stores in Jax. It is in the first aid isle of the pharmacy department. This will save you shipping cost. If you have another grocery chain or pharmacy closer to where you live, check with them.

For those who have it, do you make it habit to use glycerin?
I only used mine once

if you get the scented Rose like I did ( only available ) it would smell little different.
