USP or equivalent for your country

Propylene glycol can usually be ordered through a pharmacy. Tell them you compound. (DIY cosmetics, creams, serums etc)

Glycerin is extremely common for the above applications too. My source is a store in QC that supplies raw materials for candles, soap & cosmetics.

Do try and get the product info, MSDS sheets if possible via website or email to store/manufacturer. 99%+ and make damn sure it is not animal sourced. The other 1% is almost always water, as VG is hydrophilic.

I steer clear of soybean version and use coco palm but I usually catch flak for saying there's a difference :P
