Description

Propylene Glycol

Propylene Glycol is a diol that belongs to two alcohol groups. It is produced in labs as well as chemical plants for the production of polymers. In industries, Natural Propylene Glycol Solution is produced from propylene oxide whereas in labs it is prepared by synthesizing S-Propanediol through fermentation methods. This USP-grade aqueous solution is clear, odorless, slightly viscous, and tasteless.

Molecular formula of vegan propylene glycol solution is CH3CH(OH)CH2OH. It is soluble in a broad range of products including water, ethanol, acetone, etc. The nature of this compound is very stable which makes it non-volatile and non-irritating. It is a hygroscopic liquid that can be used as an organic solvent and diluent in many pharmaceuticals as well as other industrial applications. Propylene glycol liquid is used widely in many cosmetic and skin care products as it is an effective humectant and it also prevents the cosmetic products to freeze at a low temperature. This compound is also a key ingredient in cosmetics due to its strong sensitizer capabilities. Its low viscosity formulation makes it perfect for malleable and flexible products. Organic Propylene Glycol has the ability to penetrate into the skin which makes it an ideal ingredient for skincare products.
