A Home Necessity
Okay you guys, listen up. I can not even express how glad I am to have purchased glycerin. I bought this specific bottle for $11.47 in September, 2013 and I swear I saw it;s price drop to $8.99 earlier in December. Nonetheless, I got the most bang for my buck from this seller than any others on amazon. My original intention when purchasing this bottle was to make alcohol-free herbal extracts. I've found many uses for it since then. It makes the perfect facial scrub; a great alternative for those of us who cringe at the thought of rubbing a scrub made of oil into our faces, no matter how many times they say it's hypoallergenic or won't cause a breakout. Instead of sugar I add pure epsom salt because I don't like sticky. It makes the skin soft, smooth, and moisturized. I also use glycerin as a hair serum for a shiny and soft effect. Add a small amount after towel drying and brush or comb hair when fully dry. Really, it makes hair incredibly soft, particularly the next day. It's a great moisturizer too, though I would not advise applying it undiluted near your eyes as it make make them feel puffed. Hell, I could use it in beverages and meals. I suppose I should stop here, and say that I still have more than half the bottle left. Glycerin goes a long way for small uses. Now, my only recommendation, for my own convenience sake, is that the bottle come with a waterproof label. The ink has completely diminished because of water contact. But hey, I still love the stuff. Just look at how many personal care products list glycerin as an ingredient. It's a necessity for health care. If only it were like $1 a gallon... (Yes, I'm that cheap.)
