In the dynamic world of cosmetics and personal care, ingredients that deliver tangible benefits to skin and hair are highly sought after. Propylene Glycol, especially in its USP (United States Pharmacopeia) Grade, is a star player, celebrated for its exceptional humectant properties and versatility. As a leading chemical manufacturer and supplier in China, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-quality USP Grade Propylene Glycol that is essential for formulators seeking to create effective and appealing personal care products.

Propylene Glycol: Nature's Moisture Magnet

Propylene Glycol (CAS: 57-55-6), a clear, colorless, and hygroscopic liquid, is a diol with two hydroxyl groups (C3H8O2). Its hygroscopic nature means it readily attracts and retains water molecules from the environment. This fundamental property makes it an outstanding humectant, a key ingredient in moisturizers, lotions, serums, and hair conditioners. By binding moisture to the skin and hair, it helps to keep them hydrated, supple, and healthy-looking.

Key Roles in Cosmetics and Personal Care Products:

  • Humectant: As mentioned, its primary function is to draw moisture into the skin and hair, combating dryness and improving skin hydration.
  • Solvent: Propylene Glycol is an excellent solvent for many ingredients commonly found in cosmetics, such as fragrances, dyes, and certain active compounds, ensuring they are evenly distributed within the product.
  • Emulsifier/Stabilizer: It helps to stabilize emulsions, preventing the separation of oil and water phases in creams and lotions, thus maintaining product consistency and shelf life.
  • Viscosity Modifier: It can reduce the viscosity of formulations, making products easier to spread and apply.
  • Preservative Booster: Propylene Glycol can enhance the effectiveness of preservatives, contributing to the overall microbial stability of cosmetic products.
