    Do you absolutely have to put glycerin in lotion? What will happen if I don’t?

    No, glycerin is totally optional. I’ve made plenty of lotions without glycerin for summer use because it’s already very humid where I live.

    Belinda is right, glycerine acts as a humectant, so if you don’t add it in, it’s not a problem!

    If you have always added in glycerine into your lotions, I would actually advise you to try making a batch with no glycerine and one with half the amount you usually add in to see the difference.
