Dipropylene Glycol (DPG)

Description
Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) is a high-purity, colorless, and practically odorless liquid commonly used as a solvent, carrier, and humectant in cosmetic, personal care, and perfumery formulations. It helps dissolve and stabilize fragrances, essential oils, and other active ingredients while providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.

DPG is also valued for its low volatility and excellent compatibility with a wide range of oils, esters, and water-based ingredients. It improves the texture, spreadability, and overall performance of creams, lotions, serums, haircare products, and perfumes.
