1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-tasker ingredient. It acts as a preservative to increase shelf-life and can aid other preservatives in preventing microbe growth. 1,2-Hexanediol also helps the skin retain moisture as a humectant.

In products that are water-based, this ingredient can help stabilize perfumes and fragrances. It can also help make the texture of products softer and more smooth.

The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG contains this as ingredient number 22.

Dr. Jart+ Teatreement™ Toner contains this as ingredient number 21.
