CandleMama6 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hi All,I have a question for some of you more experienced B&B peoples. I purchased some glycerin and it is a dark yellowish color. Very off color for what I have gotten before and I was wondering if this is normal. I purchased it off here and PM'd the person, but have not received a response back.Is this normal for this product?Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandleMama6 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 All the other stuff I have is clear too, like water. I don't know if this would be safe to use or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisa Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) Mine has always been clear..Does it smell like strong Olive Oil? Thats the only way I know how to describ oils that go "off". Yeah It may have been accidently mixed up with another oil. Edited March 19, 2010 by Marisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvie Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I use glycerin for preserving flowers, and some that I've had for a long time is still clear. So, it seems like something may have been mixed with it. Hopefully, the seller will resolve the issue for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) If it smells, it could likely be an old oil.Wondering if you got the wrong oil also. Edited April 27, 2010 by Scented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-GRAN-ONES Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 just saw this..but the glycerin i have it clear.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singleyellowrose Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I've never had "colored" glycerin. It has always been clear. I would check to see if it IS actually glycerin or if it got mixed up somehow.If you don't get an answer, IMHO I wouldn't use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3bees~1flower Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 could it be castor oil? i have never heard of a glycerin that was yellow. mine always looks like thick water...crystal clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green-tangerine Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Mines always clear. I agree maybe its castor oil or could be a body wash base of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
