Dipropylene Glycol

Dipropylene Glycol is a synthetically created humectant, stabilizer, and solvent.

This ingredient helps:

• Absorb water to increase hydration in products
• Dissolve and evenly distribute ingredients
• Decrease viscosity and thin out texture.

Dipropylene glycol is technically an alcohol, but it belongs to the glycol family (often considered part of the ‘good’ alcohols). This means it is hydrating and gentle on skin unlike drying solvent alcohols like denatured alcohol.

As a masking agent, Dipropylene Glycol can be used to cover the smell of other ingredients. However, it does not have a scent.

Studies show Dipropylene Glycol is considered safe to use in skincare.
