A little trip to a dictionary website tells me that glycerine, glycerin, and
glycerol are all the same thing:
glyc7er7ol
Pronunciation: 'gli-s&-"rol, -"rOl
Function: noun
Etymology: glycerin + -ol
Date: 1884
: a sweet syrupy hygroscopic trihydroxy alcohol C3H8O3 usually obtained by
the saponification of fats and used especially as a solvent and plasticizer
