Coconut Glycerin Oil
Coconut Glycerin Oil is a versatile and nourishing oil derived from coconuts. It is produced through the process of hydrolysis, where coconut oil is broken down to separate the glycerin. This results in a natural, moisturizing oil with a wide range of applications across the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Known for its hydrating properties, Coconut Glycerin Oil is widely used for its ability to retain moisture, improve skin texture, and act as a stabilizer in various formulations.
