Propylene Glycol is a widely used multifunctional ingredient valued for its humectant and solvent properties. It helps maintain moisture balance in formulations and supports the incorporation of compatible active ingredients, extracts, fragrances, and other components.
In skincare products, it can help improve the moisture-retaining properties of creams, lotions, gels, and serums. In haircare formulations, it may be used in shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products to support formulation performance.
Its versatility makes Propylene Glycol a useful raw material for cosmetic formulators, DIY skincare makers, personal care manufacturers, and laboratories. Always select the appropriate grade for the intended application and follow the supplier’s technical documentation.
