MOISTURE LOCKING PROTECTING STABILIZING

What are the benefits?

  • Moisture lock: attracts and holds water in the skin, keeping it hydrated and soft.
  • Absorption: allows active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin.
  • Stabilizing: prevents formulas from drying out or separating.
  • Texture: creates a smooth, spreadable consistency in our creams and serums.
  • Protecting: inhibits the growth of certain pathogens in products.

How is it used in our products?

Propylene glycol is used in F09 Anti Wrinkle Eye Cream and F60 Corrective Eye Cream from OLIVEDA and 008 Shining Dope Eye Cream from LA DOPE. This multi-functional ingredient is included for its moisture-locking and absorbing properties, it can minimize the signs of maturing skin. It contributes to the texture of our products while it works synergistically with other humectants like hyaluronic acid, ensuring the skin remains supple while also promoting the delivery of beneficial ingredients more effectively. It also safely contributes to the shelf life of products.
