IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE TO USP AND FCC GRADE GLYCERIN?

There is an alternative to buying USP and FCC grade glycerin, but it may not be practical. Manufacturers of end products containing glycerin may fulfill their own GMP requirements for raw materials by proving through their own analyses that their glycerin is uncontaminated, safe, and suitable for the intended application.

Thus, the cost-benefit ratio must be carefully considered, if glycerin that is not USP or FCC certified is used in sensitive and/or regulated applications.
