Yes, glycerin is commonly used as a lubricant due to its viscous and hygroscopic properties. It can provide moisture and reduce friction, making it effective in various applications, including personal care products and medical lubricants. Additionally, glycerin is safe for use on the skin and is often found in formulations for sexual lubricants and other topical applications.
