why we use pentylene glycol
The Basics
Pentylene Glycol is a versatile, multi-functional ingredient commonly used in skincare formulations for its humectant, solvent, and preservative-boosting properties. As a humectant, it attracts and retains moisture, helping to maintain skin hydration. It also enhances the solubility and penetration of active ingredients, improving overall formulation efficacy. Additionally, Pentylene Glycol exhibits mild antimicrobial properties, allowing it to support preservative systems and contribute to product stability.
