Thread: Glycerin

Thanks, guys. Baking isle and vaseline/mineral oil isle. I will look tomorrow.

Whole Foods has it also!

Big bottle, reasonable price if I remember correctly. One of the few "reasonably" priced things in there. But some REALLY GOOD STUFF none the less!

Up in Boston, I tried looking for Glycerin in a CVS pharmacy right by my apartment. After looking around the shaving area for a good 15 minutes, and the male help being extremely confused by the word Glycerin, i finally asked a female manager (Not sure if this counts as sexism), and she pointed me towards the facial cream area.

Glycerin is commonly used as moisturizer in a lot of different hand creams and etc, and I was able to find Anhydrous Glycerin in the face cream aisle. For me, it was a CVS name brand Glycerin, so anyway, if you're near a pharmacy, check out the feminine skin product aisle, shuffle down the line, and if worst comes to worst, ask a female manager.


Moral of the story? Females know how to take care of their skin.

I always get it at the drug store, but after I read the posts here I thought I would see if you could get it in larger quantities than the usual 4oz-6oz. If you ever need a 5 gallon pail (or a bulk rail car full), you're in luck...this should keep you moisturized until the year 3000...go to packaging

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

I just purchased a big bottle straight from the pharmacy, pure glycerine

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.
