Is glycerine safe for vegetarians?
Answers:
Glycerine can be animal, vegetable or synthetic. It is commonly animal based, or a blend of animal and vegetable oils. Even kosher glycerine can be animal based. Asking particular companies about their food ingredients is often the only way to find out if the source is animal or vegetable.

No.
no glycerin is not safe for vegetarians.
If the label says the glycerine's from plant sources, or the product's certified by the vegan society or something like that, it's safe.
Animal glycerin's cheaper, though, so it's probably from animals unless you know otherwise.
Nope as it is made from animal exract!!
