Where do you find glycerin in the stores?
Glycerin is a colorless liquid used in soaps, skin treatments, cooking, animal care, crafts, and fine arts. It can be purchased at pharmacies (including big chains like Walmart or Target) in small quantities. Or, it can be found in bulk online or at certain supply stores. The source of this information, and more details are available at the eHow article linked below. In addition, vegetable glycerin, which has a rich oily texture, is a hypoallergenic glycerin derived entirely from vegetable oil (non-vegetable glycerin is usually derived from pork or other animal fats). All glycerin with a "USP" (United States Parmacopoeia) mark is safe for food and cosmetic purposes. Vegetable glycerin can be purchased online at the Netrition link below.

Is glycerine vegetarian?
It depends on what form it takes. Glycerin can be synthetically produced, or derived from animal products or non-animal products -- so without knowing how it was made, you can't tell. Most companies that use glycerin in their products (i.e., Colgate toothpaste) will state if the glycerin is vegetarian or not. If it doesn't say, it's best to stay clear if you're a vegetarian. Basicly i think Glycerin does not have animal fat in because if it was made in chicken it would'nt it would say animal fat in it.

Glycerin is it made from pig?
To summarize the process, not directly. Glycerin is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Since glycerol forms the backbone of triglycerides, it is produced by saponification or transesterification. These processes are seen in soap-making and biodiesel production. Glycerol is a 10% by-product of biodiesel production. The process involves reacting vegetable oils or animal fats catalytically with a short-chain aliphatic alcohols (typically methanol or ethanol) to produce the fuel and glycerol. Hence glycerol is created by processing a variety of fats from both animals and vegetables and not from pigs alone.
