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.
