Propylene Glycol is a widely used cosmetic-grade ingredient valued for its ability to improve product texture, stability, and overall formulation performance. In skincare and haircare formulations, it functions as an effective humectant and solvent, helping cosmetic products maintain a smooth, consistent feel while supporting uniform ingredient dispersion.
