Description :
Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) is a transparent, colourless, and odourless liquid with the lowest toxicity level, making it extremely beneficial across many sectors. It is used extensively for cosmetics and solvent ingredient categories because of its high solvency, lower volatilities, and its mild character.
It is an essential component in personal care products, fragrances, and household items as it enhances stability and improves the delivery of active ingredients. Its versatility extends to applications in resins, polymers, and industrial formulations.
Dipropylene Glycol is extensively used as a carrier and solvent in perfumes, body sprays, and deodorants. It ensures a smooth and long-lasting fragrance release while being skin-friendly.
For enhanced diffusion and modern perfume performance, it is often paired with Iso E Super , a popular aroma chemical known for its soft, woody, velvety note.
It is used in lotions, creams, shampoos, and conditioners. DPG acts as a stabilising and humectant. It aids in retaining moisture, increases texture, and enhances the performance of the formulation.
It is used as a solvent in cleaning products such as air fresheners, sanitizers, and disinfectants. DPG increases solubility and decreases the harshness of products, making them safer and more efficient.
Used in resin production, Dipropylene Glycol contributes to coatings, adhesives, and sealants due to its excellent solvency and stability. It is often used alongside Propylene Glycol and Butyl Acetate, which also support smooth processing and better performance in industrial formulations.
As an excipient, DPG is used in many medicinal formulations to improve solubility and ensure the safe delivery of active ingredients. It helps medicines dissolve better, mix evenly, and stay stable during storage. DPG also makes liquid medicines smoother and easier to apply or swallow. Because it is gentle and non-irritating, it is suitable for creams, gels, syrups, and other pharmaceutical products.
Wear safety glasses and clothing when handling hazardous substances.
Use in places that are well-ventilated in order to avoid prolonged exposure.
Storage in tightly sealed containers, far from the heat and any other mat elements.
Dispose of in accordance with local environmental and safety regulations.
