Propanediol

Propanediol has impressive sensory qualities and plenty of other benefits when used in skincare.

It serves several purposes in our products, including:

  • Improves humectancy: Propanediol pulls moisture into the skin and encourages water retention.
  • Prevents water loss: Thanks to its emollient properties, propanediol might soften and smooth skin by reducing water loss
  • Dissolves ingredients:  Propanediol is considered to be an excellent solvent for harder to dissolve ingredients, like citric acid and lactic acid.
  • Decreases viscosity: Because it allows the formulas to flow well and makes them easier to use on the skin and hair.
  • Enhances preservative efficacy: Propanediol can also function as a preservative booster in skincare products.
