Vegetable glycerin, organic – Eco Collective

This USDA Certified Organic vegetable glycerin is soothing and moisturizing. It is a vegetable-based viscous liquid that is commonly found in your favorite lotions, creams and toners. Ideal for soothing skin, even oily skin and mature skin will appreciate its moisturizing properties.

Use this in your DIY cosmetics like face wash, lotions, deodorants or cosmetics. You can also water it down to use as a makeup remover!

Instructions

Used in water-based formulas or in the water phase. Use at 2%-5% emulsions. Above 5% product may become sticky.Vegetable glycerin can be added to your moisturizer or used directly on the face to target dry patches. You can mix vegetable glycerin with a little bit of water for a great eye makeup remover.

We recommend storing vegetable glycerin in a glass jar with a tight sealed lid.

To store this product, we recommend either reusing an old bottle, storing in the provided mason jar with an optional mason jar pump lid, or using the provided aluminum bottle with a pump lid attachment. If you’re transferring from a mason jar to a different container, you may want to use a funnel.

Pumps are optional so that you can reuse them with each refill.

Bulk online

This item is a part of our Bulk Online selection! We created this option because we know not every person has access to a local bulk shop for these products, and we want to help you live a little gentler on the Earth no matter where you live. Each product is filled to order in our bulk section, and shipped right to your door with plastic-free packaging and carbon-neutral shipping!

We chose endlessly recylable aluminum bottles for liquids (with reusable specialty lids for dispensing products), and compostable bags for dry goods, due to the lightweight nature of each, to minimize shipping emissions. We ship a few thicker gel-consistency products in reusable glass mason jars – we encourage you to reuse these jars at home, and we even have a collection of mason jar accessories to transform your jar for another use!

If you’re local to Seattle, check out our zero waste bulk for store pickup option! Our retail store has a zero waste jar return program – so you can fill up any bulk product in our reusable mason jars – each jar has a $2 deposit so you can return clean, dry jars to us for a refund or credit, and we’ll sanitize and reuse them again and again!

Packaging & end of life

BPA free aluminum bottles with choice of cap, made in Colorado, USA. 

Reuse optional specialty lids when you order your next bottle as a refill with just a screw cap! Optional specialty lids are generally not recyclable, but are reusable. 

Reuse or recycle* clean, dry bottles and screw caps. Bottles and screw caps are made of aluminum which is infinitely recyclable, going from bin to store shelf in 60 days!

*We hope to someday offer a take back program for our aluminum bottles when we have the right equipment to sanitize them, but for now are excited to offer a highly recyclable way for you to order bulk goods even if you don’t have a bulk store in your area!
