Where does glycerin come from? Very simply, it comes from fats, and is generally a byproduct of soap-making. Up until 1889, people didn't know how to recover glycerin from the soap-making process, so commercially produced glycerin mostly came from the candle-making industry (back then candles were made from animal fats).
