Propyl Gallate High Purity Antioxidant Stabilizing Cosmetic Raw Material (CAS 121-79-9)
Propyl Gallate is a high-purity synthetic phenolic antioxidant specially used for cosmetic formulas.
With standardized 99.5% high purity, it has stronger free radical scavenging and anti-oxidation performance than ordinary antioxidant raw materials.
It can effectively inhibit lipid oxidation and rancidity of grease, essential oil and active ingredients in cosmetics, stabilize vitamin components and plant active substances, and prevent finished products from discoloration, deterioration and odor change during storage.
The raw material has mild properties, good skin compatibility, and complies with global cosmetic raw material regulations.
While maintaining the stability of cosmetic formulas, it can assist in improving skin oxidative dullness and resisting external environmental oxidative stress, making it an essential high-efficiency functional stabilizer and skin care antioxidant for high-end cosmetic formulas.



Key Benefits
• High-efficiency Free Radical Scavenging: Effectively removes skin excess free radicals, relieves oxidative dullness, and improves tired and yellowish skin texture.
• Powerful Formula Stabilization: Inhibits lipid peroxidation of cosmetic grease, prevents oil rancidity, discoloration and deterioration, and greatly extends product shelf life.
• Protect Active Ingredients: Stabilizes vitamins, plant extracts and essential oil components, avoids active attenuation caused by oxidation, and ensures long-term efficacy of finished products.
• Mild Anti-oxidation & Protection: Relieves skin oxidative stress caused by UV and environmental pollution, assists in delaying skin premature aging.
• Optimize Product Quality: Prevents formula odor change and precipitation, maintains clear and stable system of emulsion and cream products.
• Wide Compatibility & Safety: Compliant with global cosmetic regulations, mild and non-irritating, compatible with oil-water dual systems, suitable for mass production.
