Dilute Glycerine !!!!
I would be grateful if anyone can advise how one can dilute glycerin, still keeping it close to original viscosity and other characteristics.
Any info on this would be helpful. end use is to apply directly on the body. -

glycerin is completely soluble in water

Kem chho,
As such I have no idea why you are looking to dilute this solvent and you want the same properties as well. Without knowing much about your requirement I understand that you need to retain the same flow properties as the priority and then so on and so forth. Well what you can do is use a neutralized polymer gel solution with low viscosity and mix it with glycerin as per you need of viscosity and properties. Use carbomer 940 and you can make a 0.30% or 0.50% neutralized aqueous gel. Add this to glycerin and see how far you can go.
Have a good one.Cheers

hitesh wants to dilute glycerin no to thicken it.

@nasrins Read his requirement carefully, he doesn’t want to change a lot in properties and wants to retain the flow as well. Everybody knows glycerol is soluble in water, he just wants to know how to keep the viscosity same even after dilution and carbomer gel isn’t going to change the properties too.
Read carefully before you comment.cheers

Miliachemist, Kem cho to you as well,
you are right!!!!I do not want to change the characteristics of Glycerine, just need a safe way to dilute it.Thanks for your suggestion -
Make a 0.05 or 0.10% neutralized carbomer gel and add it to glycerin, replace 10% glycerin with this gel to start with and see where you stand in terms of viscosity, though I am sure the customer would be more comfortable with less of stickiness.
