What is the consistency of Glycerin?

[KinksnCurlz]

I tried to find this last nite at the drug store but i couldn't b/c 1) i didn't really know what i was looking for and 2) the salespeople were acting like i was speaking tongue when i asked for it.

What kind do you use and if u have a pic of it, that would b appreciated (or if u could tell me where i could find a pic of it)? I want to use this in one of my hair 'mixes'.
TIA

I purchased somen recently and it is thick nd greasy like oil. Is this what everyone else has?

I'm not totally sure if what I'm saying is correct but glycerin isn't a product, it's an ingredient in most moisturizers. The consistency in the lotion form of ultra sheen finishing lotion (the moisturizer i use) is like a thick oily feel like Tonya said. I'll try to find a picture

You'd probably do better ordering vegetable glycerin (not synthetic) from nowfoods.com.....Unfortunately, most glycerin in hair products is synthetic... Aubrey Organics and Phyto products contain vegetable glycerin

I found some pure 100% glycerin recently in a local bss, but I didn't purchase it because it was sticky and very thick

 

[SherryLove]

it is a little on the thick side. it is usually added to products to help with moisture and to add a creamier consistency..

I use vegeteable glycerin and get it from FNWL. I've seen it near the pharmacy section in drug stores. It's clear and kind of thick. It can be sticky if you use too much. I add a little to water and put it in my spray bottle.

I've seen glycerin in Eckerd's in the medicine section. Right by the castor oil. Is this the same stuff people put in their hair? You may have to ask the pharmacist where it is, cashiers/regular workers may not know

 

[CurlyCrly]

That's probably it.

it's oily and clear, i bought it from Eckerds in the pharmacy section. I add it to water and EVOO in a spray bottle

This may help as far as vegetable glycerin Now Foods Glycerin
Synthetic glycerin comes in a little solid brown bottle with a plain label and a white cap when I've seen it.
