Glycerol, USP Grade, is a high-purity, colorless, and viscous liquid that meets the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for quality, purity, and safety. Chemically known as glycerin or 1,2,3-propane-triol, it is widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food applications as a humectant, solvent, and stabilizer. Its USP Grade designation ensures it is suitable for use in formulations intended for human or veterinary use.
This grade of glycerol is commonly used in medicinal preparations, topical formulations, cough syrups, and as a carrier for active ingredients. In laboratories, it is also employed as a cryoprotectant, a stabilizer for enzymes and proteins, and a solvent for chemical reagents. Its high purity and biocompatibility make it a versatile and essential ingredient in both research and applied pharmaceutical settings.
