Product Overview

Vegetable Glycerine (Castor-Derived) is a renewable, high-purity polyol obtained as a co-product during the processing of castor oil and its derivatives. Chemically known as glycerol, it is valued for its excellent humectant properties, sweetness profile, solvent ability, and biocompatibility, making it one of the most widely used bio-based ingredients across regulated and industrial sectors.

At Nova Industries, castor-derived vegetable glycerine is produced through controlled hydrolysis and purification processes, followed by multi-stage refinement to remove impurities, color bodies, and odor-forming components. This results in a clear, stable, and consistent product suitable for applications where quality, safety, and batch-to-batch uniformity are essential.

Compared to synthetic or mixed-origin glycerine, castor-derived vegetable glycerine offers traceable renewable sourcing, predictable composition, and reliable performance. Buyers select this product when they require a clean-label, plant-based glycerine that integrates smoothly into pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food-adjacent, and specialty industrial formulations.
