Namely... 

Glycerin is a polyol, more precisely a triol which has three alcohol functions. It is an important component of glycerides (fats and oils) and phospholipids in living organisms. Vegetable glycerin is obtained from the hydrolysis of rapeseed or coconut oils. It is a rather weak solvent for extracting the active ingredients from plants, but combined with water, it makes it possible to obtain hydro-glycerin extracts (the water extracted and the glycerin preserved). Syrupy, clear liquid, very hygroscopic (miscible with water and alcohol) and with a sweet taste (glycerin, however, is not absorbed as a sugar but rather as a fat by the body. There is therefore no danger for people suffering from sugar-related disorders, such as diabetes.)
