What is it?
Propanediol is a natural, skin-friendly alternative to propylene glycol, commonly used in personal care products. It is a glycol that is recognized for its sustainability and high purity. Unlike other glycols, which is often criticized for its petroleum-based origins, propanediol offers a more eco-friendly and less irritating option for skincare formulations.
Where does it come from?
Propanediol is primarily derived from corn through a sustainable and environmentally friendly fermentation process. This corn-derived version is approved by Ecocertâą and the Natural Products Association, making it a popular choice in natural and organic cosmetic products.
