Violetsexoticcandles Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi,I'm going to try my hand at lotion and need to know if I might be able to find glycerin locally? I got in on the soaper's choice coop and think I have everything else I need, but i don't know where I can get the glycerin needed for my recipe.If I can't get it, can I substitute?Thanks!Violet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellen Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hello,Glycerin is pretty cheap..I'd be trying my normal suppliers and seeing if they sell it in bulk. Chemists products are expensive (here anyway)Cheers,Hells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Night Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I got a small bottle of it at Michaels in the cake decorating section. Come to think of it, I might have seen it at Walmart in their craft/cake decorating area too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtasyPunq Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 If you only need a little to test you can get a small bottle locally, but it will be much more expensive that way. Like Hellen said, I would try your usual web suppliers and get it there because its only a few dollars a pound. You might also want to look into a product called Hydrovance (you can get it from WSP). Its a good alternative to glycerin with out the sticky feeling that glycerin can have. HTH :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonba Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Walmart does have but the last time I got it I think they had moved it to the lotion section.:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
