As a humectant, emollient, and preservative, propylene glycol holds moisture while preventing mold in certain medicines, cosmetics, and foods. As a solvent, it helps improve the texture and consistency of foods, drugs, paints, and more. It is also used to create artificial smoke.
Why is propylene glycol PG Liquid used in cosmetics?
Propylene glycol is a common ingredient in cosmetic, personal, and skin care products. It is in anywhere from 26.4% to 37.8% of registered personal care products.3 Propylene glycol is a versatile substance that carries out many functions in the product formulations in which it is included. Some of these functions include the following:
- Humectants: added to cosmetics and skin care products to cause moisturizing properties. PG chemical acts as a humectant, attracting water to the skin, thus hydrating and moisturizing it.
- Emollient: An emollient is an ingredient that soothes and moisturizes the skin and plays a key role in skin care products for dry skin. Propylene glycol liquid is an emollient because it forms an oily layer on the skin that prevents moisture loss.
- Controls Viscosity: Propylene glycol reduces the thickness of cosmetic formulations and products. This makes them easier to apply to the skin and also promotes absorption.
- Preservative: PG/MPG is often used as a preservative in cosmetics and skin care products along with other chemicals.
