Sakamoto Yakuhim Kogyo Glycerin
Glycerin is a colorless, transparent and odorless sweet syrupy liquid. The word is derived from the Greek word glykys, meaning sweet. In 1779, Swedish scientist K.W. Shele discovered glycerin in a hydrolysate of olive oil. Initially, glycerin was used in the manufacture of glue and cork, and over time applications extended to use in dye auxiliaries for textiles and ink. In 1867, A.B. Nobel manufactured dynamite from glycerin, a development that proved a major turning point in the expansion of applications for glycerin.
