Science & Benefits

Propanediol is a corn-derived glycol used as a high-purity humectant and solvent. It is chemically identical to petroleum-derived versions but offers a significantly better skin feel—silky, non-sticky, and weightless. It is zero-comedogenic. It is the 'bulletproof' alternative to propylene glycol for sensitive acne-prone individuals, serving as an excellent delivery vehicle for active ingredients without the risk of solvent-induced irritation.
