📖 About Propylene Glycol

Propylene Glycol is the most cost-effective humectant and solvent in cosmetics. It's been safely used for decades and is compatible with virtually all ingredients, though some 'clean beauty' brands avoid it.

🛒 Purchasing Guide & Tips

Cheapest humectant option — great for high-volume production
Some consumers avoid it — consider 'Propylene Glycol-free' as a marketing angle for premium lines
Excellent solvent for active ingredients and essential oils
USP/EP grade is required for cosmetic use (not industrial grade)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Is Propylene Glycol safe?

Yes, it's approved by FDA, EU, and WHO. It's been used safely in cosmetics for over 50 years.

❓ Why do some brands avoid it?

Mostly marketing — 'clean beauty' trends favor Propanediol or Glycerin as 'natural' alternatives.

❓ Can it cause irritation?

At high concentrations (>10%), it can be mildly irritating to very sensitive skin. Use 1-5% for most applications.
