Propylene glycol

Propylene glycol

Propylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, and slightly viscous synthetic liquid that is fully miscible with water and most organic solvents. It is widely used as a humectant, solvent, and moisture-retaining agent in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products due to its excellent safety profile and low toxicity at typical usage levels.

BENEFITS & FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES

Propylene glycol is a highly effective humectant that attracts and retains moisture in formulations, preventing products from drying out.
Propylene glycol acts as an excellent solvent, helping to dissolve poorly water-soluble ingredients and enhance their delivery into the skin.
Propylene glycol also possesses mild antimicrobial properties, which help extend product shelf life and support the preservative system.

APPLICATIONS & FORMULATION USES 

Propylene glycol is widely used in skincare products such as creams, lotions, serums, and cleansers as a moisturizer and texture enhancer.
Propylene glycol is a common carrier in oral-care products (toothpastes and mouthwashes) and food items for flavors and colors.
Propylene glycol is also applied in pharmaceutical formulations (e.g., syrups, topical creams) and industrial antifreeze agents due to its low toxicity and low freezing point.
