I'm going to assume that if the product ingredients don't state Vegetable Glycerin specifically then it's going to be a synthetic version. The only time I actually see Vegetable Glycerin is on natural products like DM, KBB and others that are "natural". I also know that in the Summer my Glisten to me Spray made from Veg.Glyc. doesn't work well it makes me POOF whereas CK is that exact opposite. Veg Glycerin seems to be moisturizing if you feel it in your hands it's kind of greasy feeling.
