It is considered non-toxic.

Benefits...
♥ Glycerin soap; This kind of soap is used by people with sensitive, easily irritated skin because it prevents skin dryness with its moisturizing properties. It draws moisture up through skin layers and slows or prevents excessive drying and evaporation.
♥ Humectant: as mentioned, glycerin in highly hygroscopic which means that it can draw water from the air into the skin. This minimizes water loss due to evaporation in oily skin, and keeps it hydrated and nourished.
Humectants in glycerin help to retain water in the skin.
※ The major drawback of any humectant (including glycerin) when used in pure form is that they can increase water loss by attracting water from the lower layers of skin into the surface layers of skin where the water can easily be lost into the environment.
That doesn’t help any skin type. For this reason, glycerin and humectants in general are always combined with other ingredients to soften skin. ※

♥ Anti aging aid:--
Glycerin plays a vital role in cell maturation, and in renewal of skin cells, thus youthful skin for longer.
Cell maturation: Unknowing to you, everyday your skin cells (keratinocytes) are dying and these dead cells are shed off as dead skin. There is a fraction of skin cells, known as skin stem cells, which will grow and divide to replace the dying cells. So, there is a constant renewal of cells at the skin surface.
