Well known for packing a punch of moisture, Home Essentials Glycerin is an excellent addition to your skincare routine. Use it as a moisturiser, lip balm, to help soothe dry cracked hands and heels, and even revive gluggy or gloopy nail polish and mascara by adding a few drops.

Around the home, it's very versatile and easy to use. It can be made into a handwash, will add shine to floors and tyres, protect leather, defog glass and mirrors, suppress dust build-up, and remove stubborn fat stains from clothes and dishes.

Glycerin is a good bait for cockroaches, and helps protect trees and plants from insects.
