Propylene glycol is a common ingredient in many daily - use products. In the food industry, it is used as a food additive, mainly as a humectant, solvent, and stabilizer. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a solvent and carrier for drugs. In the cosmetic industry, it is used in skin care products, makeup, and other products to help moisturize and dissolve ingredients.

 

The toxicity of propylene glycol is relatively low. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified it as a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) substance. Inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact with small amounts of propylene glycol in daily - use products usually do not cause significant harm to the human body. It can be metabolized and excreted by the body.
