Description

Propylene glycol is a colorless, odorless liquid that is completely water-soluble.  Propylene glycol is used as a humectant, a preservative, a solvent, or an emollient in a wide variety of products, such as creams, lotions, serums, shampoos and many other types of personal care products.

Propylene glycol has many functions and is used in a multitude of skincare products for its versatility. It attracts water to the skin, propylene glycol acts like a humectant, which means it binds water and pulls in hydration to the outer skin layer. When used in cosmetic products, it helps give the skin a hydrated, dewy appearance. Lightly moisturizes  as a humectant, it also offers moisturizing benefits and smoothes the skin with a light, non-sticky feel. It addresses visible signs of aging, The humectant property also makes it a useful ingredient for dry or aged skin.

As we age, our skin loses a component called Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) and subsequently dries out, which emphasizes wrinkles and contributes to flaking and roughness, Propylene glycol helps bind water from the environment, helping to counter the water loss that accompanies aging.”

it’s especially beneficial for ingredients that are  difficult to dissolve into creams and serums, like fragrances and pigments.  It enhances penetration by  helping the active ingredients of cosmetics  penetrate through the skin, which in turn makes them more effective.  It prevents water loss,  as an emollient, propylene glycol forms a protective film on the skin that prevents water loss and helps to smooth and soften skin.

It preserves formula, Propylene glycol is antimicrobial, and  at higher concentrations, it acts as a preservative to prevent contamination.  It is safe for acne-prone skin, as it is not oily,  it is  ideal for those with acne.
