Neither: they use animal fat to give it a rubbery feel
Arm & Hammer toothpaste does contain vegetable glycerin, which is commonly used in many toothpaste formulations as a humectant. This ingredient helps retain moisture and maintain the texture of the toothpaste. However, the specific formulation can vary by product, so it's always best to check the ingredient list on the packaging for accurate information.
Glycerin is a common ingredient used in making soap. The substance is usually made using animal fat or vegetable oil.
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 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.
It is present in all natural lipids (fats), animal and vegetable alike.Glycerin can be dissolved into water or alcohol, but not into oils.It is a good solvent (compared to water).Glycering absorbs moisture from air (is hygroscopic).The pure chemical is called Glycerol.Glycerin, when in hygiene product (soap, deodorant etc) is used to soften the skin.
I think shortening would be good. Only if its for your lips.
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.
Yes, Nature's Answer Pure Vegetable Glycerin is generally considered safe for consumption when used as directed. It is often used as a sweetener or humectant in food and personal care products. However, it's important to check the product label for specific usage instructions and to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or dietary restrictions.
In the Soap making process there is a number of oils mostly vegetable and Animal based, that is used in the soap making process, that would include Palm Kernel Oil, Almond Oil, Olive Oil etc.
A thickening agent that can be used at home to thicken detergent is vegetable glycerin and Borax. Mixing Borax into the vegetable glycerin, and then into your detergent will greatly thicken it up.
No, human toothpaste should never be used on cats. Fluoride is present in most toothpastes and is toxic if ingested, especially to such a small animal like a cat. Cats cannot spit out toothpaste while their teeth are being brushed. Pet toothpaste is free of Fluoride and is completely safe for an animal to ingest.
