Function
Propylene glycol, also known as 1,2-propanediol or propylene glycol, is a colorless, tasteless, and odorless compound commonly used as an ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products. It has a variety of features including:
1.Moisturizing: Propylene glycol is an excellent moisturizer that can absorb moisture in the air, help the skin retain moisture and prevent dryness.
2.Softens skin: Propylene glycol makes skin soft and smooth, helping to improve skin texture.
3.Solvent: Propylene glycol can act as a solvent for other chemical ingredients, helping to mix and dilute other ingredients and make the product easier to use.
4.Skin penetration enhancer: Propylene glycol helps promote the penetration of other active ingredients and enhances the efficacy of the product.
5.Antifreeze: In some skin care products and cosmetics, propylene glycol can be used as an antifreeze agent to prevent the product from freezing in low temperature environments.
In general, propylene glycol is widely used in cosmetics and skin care products, mainly because of its moisturizing and skin softening functions, making it an important ingredient in many skin care products.
Applications
Propylene glycol has a variety of applications in cosmetics and personal care products, including but not limited to the following:
1.Moisturizing: As an excellent moisturizer, propylene glycol is often added to skin care products, facial creams, lotions, body lotions and other products to help the skin retain moisture and prevent dryness.
2.Solvent: Due to propylene glycol’s good solubility, it is often used as a solvent for other ingredients, helping to mix and dilute other ingredients, making the product easier to use.
3.Skin penetration enhancer: Propylene glycol can help other active ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin better and enhance the efficacy of the product, so it is commonly used in some skin care products and medicinal topical preparations.
4.Antifreeze: In some cosmetics and skin care products, propylene glycol is also used as an antifreeze to prevent the product from freezing in low temperature environments.
In general, propylene glycol is a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient that is commonly used in skin care products, makeup, shampoo, shower gel and other products to provide functions such as moisturizing, dissolving, and penetration enhancement.
