Glycerin is a trihydric alcohol that is derived from animal fats and plants emollients. It is used in many protein bars to give the bar a soft texture and to make it easy to chew. Glycerin yields 4.32 calories per gram. Glycerin is a crystalline, viscous liquid formed when fat molecules split. It is half as sweet as sugar and is used to keep bars moist and to plasticize other foods such as fudge, gum, geltin, etc. The big question is if glycerin is a carb or is it a new 'category'. The reason that glycerin is not listed as a carbohydrate by some manufacturers is that glycerin does not effect blood glucose or insulin levels. However, the FDA states that glycerin is to be listed as a carbohydrate; thus the controversy.

Glycerin is perhaps the most common humectant (or water-binding agent) used in skin care; humectants are substances that attract water to the skin and help hold it there. Glycerin is extremely effective at helping skin retain its moisture content, which means it not only can help with dry skin conditions but also with softening and smoothing the skin and helping the skin look and function better overall. Glycerin is considered noncomedogenic, nonallergenic, and nonsensitizing. Because it is safely noncomedogenic as well as non-greasy, glycerin is a great, light form of moisture for acne-prone skin types and for humid weather conditions. Glycerin is most often derived from vegetable oils or sugars. All animal and vegetable lipids naturally contain glycerin.
