1,2-Pentanediol, Cosmetic Grade Pentanediol
Cosmetic Grade 1,2-Pentanediol is a high-purity, low-irritation multifunctional diol cosmetic raw material, refined by multi-stage distillation and deep purification technology. Different from traditional single-function moisturizing glycols, it integrates moisturizing, solubilizing, stabilizing and antibacterial antiseptic functions, and is a core multifunctional auxiliary material for high-end mild cosmetics and preservative-free formula systems.
It has excellent water-locking and moisturizing properties, which can form a breathable moisturizing film on the skin surface, effectively relieve skin dryness and tightness, and improve dry and rough texture. As a classic mild preservative booster, it has a broad-spectrum inhibitory effect on common mold, yeast and bacteria in cosmetics, which can significantly improve the antibacterial ability of the formula, reduce the dosage of traditional preservatives, and even realize preservative-free formula production.
With ultra-mild physical properties, no odor, no irritation, no formaldehyde and harmful substance release, it can effectively neutralize and reduce the irritation of functional active ingredients in the formula, optimize product mildness. In addition, it has excellent solubilizing and stabilizing effects, which can improve the solubility of water-insoluble active ingredients, stabilize the formula system, prevent product stratification and deterioration, and improve the overall texture and shelf stability of cosmetics. It is suitable for all skin types, especially for sensitive skin and fragile muscle mild skincare formulas, and is an essential high-quality raw material for modern clean beauty cosmetics.
