Propanediol is a natural, skin-friendly alternative to propylene glycol, commonly used in personal care products. It is a glycol that is recognized for its sustainability and high purity. Unlike other glycols, which is often criticized for its petroleum-based origins, propanediol offers a more eco-friendly and less irritating option for skincare formulations.
Where does it come from?
Propanediol is primarily derived from corn through a sustainable and environmentally friendly fermentation process. This corn-derived version is approved by Ecocert™ and the Natural Products Association, making it a popular choice in natural and organic cosmetic products.
Safe and Natural: Free from petroleum derivatives, it provides a safer alternative to other glycols.
Eco-Friendly: Produced through an environmentally sustainable process, contributing to the creation of green and clean beauty products.
As a Humectant: It draws moisture from the environment into the skin, helping to maintain hydration and improve skin texture, especially in products designed for dry or aging skin.
As an Emollient: It softens the skin, forming a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss, making it ideal for moisturizing creams.
As a Penetration Enhancer: It helps other active ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin, increasing their effectiveness.
As a Preservative Booster: It enhances the shelf life of products by improving the efficacy of preservative systems, ensuring the stability and longevity of cosmetic formulations.
