Product Info:

Propanediol 1,3 is a natural, skin-friendly humectant and solvent derived from renewable sources such as corn sugar. It enhances hydration, improves ingredient penetration, and provides a smooth, non-sticky feel in cosmetic formulations. It is an excellent alternative to propylene glycol and can also act as a mild preservative booster. Propanediol is commonly used in skincare, haircare, and personal care formulations, including serums, lotions, creams, and cleansers.
