{"product_id":"propylene-glycol","title":"Propylene Glycol \/ پروپیلین گلائکول","description":"\u003cp\u003ePropylene Glycol (PG) is a synthetic, water-miscible diol belonging to the alcohol family, chemically identified as 1,2-propanediol. It has been a staple of cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food manufacturing for decades, valued for its unique ability to perform multiple formulation roles simultaneously. Its history in cosmetics dates to the mid-20th century, when it quickly became a standard ingredient across every major product category from skincare to haircare and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes Propylene Glycol particularly valuable to cosmetic formulators is its multifunctionality within a single ingredient. As a humectant, it binds water molecules and draws atmospheric moisture into the skin, improving hydration levels measurably. As a solvent, it creates homogenous dispersions of actives and fragrance materials throughout the formula. Its preservative-boosting capacity also allows formulators to reduce the concentration of primary preservatives without compromising microbial safety, resulting in better-tolerated finished products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Usage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSkincare (Creams, Serums, Lotions) \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePropylene Glycol is a staple across all leave-on skincare categories, delivering reliable humectancy and solvent action at 2–5%.
