glycerolwater
Glycerolwater refers to any liquid mixture of glycerol (propane-1,2,3-triol) and water in varying proportions. Glycerol is a colorless, viscous, hygroscopic polyol with a sweet taste. Water is the universal solvent. When combined, glycerol and water are completely miscible, forming a single homogeneous liquid across all compositions and temperatures relevant to everyday use.
The physical properties depend on the glycerol concentration. Increasing glycerol makes the mixture more viscous and
Preparation is straightforward: simply mix glycerol and water in the desired ratios. The mixture can be used
Uses include pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations as humectants and solvents, food-grade additives, and components in cryoprotective
Safety and storage: glycerol is broadly regarded as safe for many applications, though concentrated solutions can
