Sweet viscous liquid
Glycerine is a thick, colorless, sweet-tasting liquid used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products.
It draws moisture from the air, making it valuable as a humectant in lotions and soaps.
Glycerine is also a component in the manufacture of explosives like nitroglycerin.
Also spelled glycerin.
