Application Of Propylene Glycol
Cosmetics Industry
- Moisturizing Agent: Propylene glycol is commonly used in skincare products as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin, keeping it hydrated, smooth, and soft.
- Solvent: It serves as an effective solvent in cosmetic formulations, helping dissolve other active ingredients and enhancing the overall stability of the product.
- Emulsifier: Propylene glycol is used in emulsions like creams and lotions, aiding in mixing water and oil phases and stabilizing the formulation.
- Antibacterial Properties: It helps inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, contributing to the preservation of cosmetic products.
Food Industry
- Humectant: In food products such as candies, cakes, and ice cream, propylene glycol helps retain moisture and maintain a soft texture.
- Solvent: Propylene glycol is used to dissolve flavorings, colorings, and food additives, enhancing their uniform distribution in food products.
- Antifreeze Agent: It is used in ice cream and other frozen foods to prevent the formation of ice crystals, improving texture and smoothness.
Harmaceutical Industry
- Drug Solvent: Propylene glycol serves as a solvent in oral, injectable, and topical pharmaceuticals, improving solubility and absorption of active ingredients.
- Topical Formulations: Used in ointments, creams, and gels, propylene glycol helps with moisture retention and skin barrier repair.
Antimicrobial - Preservative: It helps extend the shelf life of pharmaceutical products by preventing microbial contamination.
E-Liquid Industry
- Solvent & Base: Propylene glycol is a key ingredient in e-liquids for electronic cigarettes, acting as a solvent that helps create vapor and delivers a throat hit sensation.

Procurement Information for Propylene Glycol
Use this page to prepare an RFQ and bench trial. Final suitability depends on the supplied grade, your complete formula, process, packaging and destination-market requirements.
INCI
Propylene Glycol
Function
Humectant, solvent and formulation carrier.
Suitable formulations
Serums, creams, lotions, deodorants, cleansers, shampoos, conditioners and fragrance systems.
Use recommendation
Add to the water phase or use first to dissolve a compatible active, then introduce the premix with agitation. Confirm active solubility, preservative performance, sensory profile and target-market requirements in the finished formula.
Packaging and MOQ
Pack format and minimum order quantity depend on grade, order quantity and destination. Ask for the current packing list and quotation; no fixed pack or MOQ is assumed on this page.
Documents and sample
Request the current TDS, specification, SDS, sample availability and a lot-specific CoA before approval. State the intended application, market, trial quantity and annual forecast in your request.
Identity and regulatory references
- European Commission CosIng database — verify the INCI name and reported cosmetic functions.
- Cosmetic Ingredient Review ingredient resources — review the relevant safety assessment where available.
- CosIng and ingredient assessments are reference tools, not approval of a finished formula. Confirm current local rules and conduct the required safety and stability assessment.
