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.
