How should I store and handle the one‑gallon jug?

The glycerin arrives in a sturdy HDPE container with a resealable lid to reduce contamination and spills. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures for longest shelf stability.

• Keep the cap tightly closed between uses to prevent dust and moisture ingress.
• Avoid freezing; room temperature storage is best for flow and handling.
• The BPA‑free HDPE jug is refillable and suitable for workshop or salon use.
• Label and date the container if portioning into smaller dispensers.

How concentrated is it and how much should I use in DIY recipes?

This is pure liquid glycerin (100% vegetable glycerin), designed for addition at typical cosmetic usage rates. Usage rates depend on the formulation: a few percent in leave‑on products, higher in glycerin‑rich serums or certain recipes.

• Common leave‑on application rates: 2–10% of total formula for conditioning benefits.
• For glycerin serums or humectant blends, higher concentrations may be used carefully to avoid tackiness.
• Works as a component in soap, shampoo, and homemade cosmetics; adjust with water or oils for desired texture.
• Test patch recipes when altering concentrations to confirm feel and performance.
