Propanediol is widely used in products such as cleansers, toners, eyeliners, and foundations. Propanediol leaves the skin radiant and glowing without any negative effects.
In skin care, Propanediol is known for softening and soothing the skin. It acts as an emollient and retains moisture on the skin – making it healthy and supple and promoting anti-aging properties. Further, propanediol also prevents water loss by forming a protective barrier on the skin.
For hair care, it is known to deeply hydrate the scalp and makes hair softer and smoother. Propanediol is a great conditioner and also promotes product absorption in formulations.
