WhatUAte

Vegetable glycerin is generally considered safe.
That said, you may experience an allergic reaction if vegetable glycerin is applied directly to your skin — so it’s best to start with a small amount to see how your skin reacts.
When ingested, vegetable glycerin may cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and excessive thirst in some people (13).
Since glycerin is a form of sugar alcohol that your body cannot fully absorb, consuming too much — either alone or through foods — may also lead to gas and diarrhea.
Summary Vegetable glycerin is generally considered safe. However, there is a possibility of allergic reaction, headaches, nausea, thirst and stomach upset in some people.

Vegetable glycerin is a clear, odorless and sweet-tasting liquid derived from vegetable fats.
It is added to food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals and may offer health benefits, such as moisturized and resilient skin, relief from constipation, improved hydration and better physical performance.
If you’d like to give vegetable glycerin a try, start with a small amount to see how you react.
