If so, please share....
Also, which one helps retain moisture better?

I think...but dont quote me ...Veg glycerin is made only from vegatables and regular glycerin has animal fat or byproducts in it.

You are the winner! Yes, the difference is, vegtable glycerin is a by product taken from veggies and other glycerin is made from animal fat. You want the veggie one for sure. If it does not say veggie glycerin on the bottle don't buy it. I have veggie glycerin that I use in my homemade lotions and hair products and it really does help retain moisture! Hope this helps.
