Propanediol

Propanediol is a versatile, clear and colorless liquid that serves multiple key functions in modern skincare formulations. Primary roles: Solvent and carrier: An effective solvent for a wide range of both water-soluble and oil-soluble active ingredients, helping to improve their stability and delivery in a formula. Penetration enhancer: Can help improve the bioavailability of other active ingredients by facilitating their delivery into the skin. Humectant: Attracts and binds water to the skin, improving hydration and contributing to a smooth, moisturized feel. It is often used alongside or as an alternative to glycerin. Texture modifier: Contributes to a light, non-sticky, and pleasantly smooth texture.

We select vegetable-derived propanediol as a high-performance, sustainable humectant and carrier. It enhances the hydration and efficacy of our key actives while contributing to the lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-tacky texture.
