Hi, what's the difference between the glycerin we buy in the drug store and the one in the cake supplies?

I have one from Wilton. The other one it's from the farmacy, it's said that its an emolient, and is u.s p. 99.9%. Can I use both for the fondant?

    glycerin is glycerin no matter where you buy it. the stuff in the drug store came from the same bowl of soup as the glycerin at the cake supply department. what's cooking today?

    No, no, do not do that the solvent of glycerin uses in pharmacy is highly concentrated which is not good for food preparation purposes.
