Science & Benefits

1,2-Hexanediol is a highly stable, synthetic humectant and solvent. It is prized in 'Clean Beauty' and K-Beauty formulations for its ability to create a clear, elegant gel texture and its low potential for sensitization. It is zero-comedogenic and zero-irritant. In an acne-safe routine, it ensures that serums feel lightweight and absorb quickly, leaving no sticky residue that could trap pollutants or environmental debris on the skin.
