Propylene glycol is a colorless, odorless liquid that is completely water-soluble. Propylene glycol is used as a humectant, a preservative, a solvent, or an emollient in a wide variety of formulas, such as creams, lotions, serums, shampoos, and many other types of personal care products.
Benefits of Propylene Glycol for Skin
Propylene glycol has many functions and is used in a multitude of skincare products for its versatility. Here are its main functions:
- Attracts water: At low concentrations, propylene glycol acts like a humectant, which means it binds water and pulls in hydration to the outer skin layer. When used in cosmetic products, it helps give the skin a hydrated, dewy appearance.
- Boosts other ingredients: Because of its binding properties, propylene glycol can enhance the delivery of other active ingredients into the skin.
- Lightly moisturizes: As a humectant, it also offers moisturizing benefits and smoothes the skin with a light, non-sticky feel.
- Addresses visible signs of aging: The humectant property also makes it a useful ingredient for dry or aged skin. “As we age, our skin loses a component called Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) and subsequently dries out, which emphasizes wrinkles and contributes to flaking and roughness,”. “Propylene glycol helps bind water from the environment, helping to counter the water loss that accompanies aging.”
- Enhances penetration: It helps the active ingredients of cosmetics penetrate through the skin, which in turn makes them more effective.
- Prevents water loss: As an emollient, propylene glycol forms a protective film on the skin that prevents water loss and helps to smooth and soften skin.
- Is safe for acne-prone skin: Because it’s not oily, it’s also ideal for those with acne.
- Helps lessen the appearance of spots over time: Due to its moisturizing properties, propylene glycol nourishes the skin, helping to lessen the appearance of marks and acne spots.
