⚠️ CRITICAL COMPLIANCE AUDIT REQUIRED
Refined Glycerin
INCI: Glycerin | CAS Registry Number: 56-81-5
1. Technical Overview & Cosmetic Applications
Glycerin is the most widely utilized raw material in cosmetics. While USP 99.7% grades ensure chemical purity, they do not verify biological origin. Up to 35% of industrial crude glycerin originates from animal tallow or biodiesel waste. Certified dedicated cracking columns are mandatory.
Common Product Formulations: Emulsions, facial moisturizers, serums, toothpaste, hair conditioners.
2. Halal Compliance & Critical Non-Conformance Vectors
Hidden Contamination Vectors
Rendered slaughterhouse tallow, biodiesel crude glycerin, bone char filtration
Approved Halal Alternatives
RSPO-certified palm glycerin, non-GMO soy or rapeseed vegetable glycerin
3. Scientific Auditing & Testing Protocol
| Audit Metric | Circle H Verification Specification |
|---|---|
| International Verdict | OIC/SMIIC 4 & GSO 2055-4: Zero tolerance for tallow origin; requires 100% plant provenance |
| Laboratory Testing | Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS), GC-FID purity & continuous column audit |
| Chain of Custody | Uninterrupted traceability back to certified raw material supplier; continuous column inspection and dedicated vessel validation. |
| Cross-Contamination | Clean-In-Place (CIP) protocol validation, Total Organic Carbon (TOC) screening, and zero animal tallow residues. |
