There is actually a wide range of uses for glycerin. It is used in many cosmetics, hand creams, and moisturizers. It is also used in food products, including, but not limited to, cake decorating as an "icing stabilizer" or "texturizer," and in making some candies. In addition, it is sometimes used in pharmaceuticals.

Some types of soap and toothpastes contain glycerin.

Triacetin is glycerol triacetate - an ester made from acetic acid (vinegar) and glycerin. So they are similar in that glycerin is used to make triacetin. Triacetin is used in foods as a humectant - it keeps them moist. Glycerin does the same, however it is also slightly sweeter.
Pure glycerin is derived from animal fats. There is a substance in animal fat which is glycerin. A product which say it is free from animal fats is misleading if it contains glycerin in it. Glycerin is animal fat or rather a substance from the fat. Although glycerin can be from vegetable its best to make sure specially if you're a veggie.
no,because glycerin is dense than water

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.
It maybe somewhat unnecessary, because alot of hair products already include glycerin.
Soybeans and other vegetation. Biodiesel is made through a chemical process called transesterification whereby the glycerin is separated from the fat or vegetable oil. The process leaves behind two products -- methyl esters (the chemical name for biodiesel) and glycerin (a valuable byproduct usually sold to be used in soaps and other products).
Glycerin is used in many soaps and cosmetic products. Paraffin becomes very brittle at room temperature, so it would not be beneficial to substitute glycerin for it.
Glycerin is a naturally occurring biproduct of soap making. Most large manufacturers remove it from their soaps and sell it or use it in more expensive lotions and makeups. It is an excellent skin moisturizer.
Glycerin and soap are the bye-products of saponification. The saponification value of glycerine are values of the percentage of lye it takes to convert one unit of fat, oil or fatty acid into glycerin.
You can find glycerin on the web on sites that sell cosmetic & soap products for those who would want to make their own handmade/homemade soaps.I would recommend searching your favorite search engine for glycerin and see what comes up.
The bi-products of diesel fuel are water and glycerin. These are commonly removed from the fuel during the process of refinery.

What is left over from the extracting the gas out is bio-glycerin or bio-glycerol. Bio-glycerin is the major bi-product obtained after producing Bio-diesel. Bio-glycerin in its crude form has a many uses, starting from manufacturing soaps to various cosmetic products. Glycerin is one of the most important bi-products of bio-diesel. Now making use of it will reduce the actual cost of bio-diesel produced in any given unit. The glycerin in crude form can be used to make soap, degreaser, cosmetics, lotions, candles, etc….http://greenhouseeffectsoap.blogspot.com/
