Andy, Yes. In my region there are medium sized soap manufacturing companies who specialise in natural handsoaps, custom soaps, cosmetics. They take supplies of refined glycerin above 90 per cent but you are correct in that the purer the better; so a 99 percent is even better. The other preference is colourless and odorless in order to add in their own perfumes and colors.
