Dipropylene Glycol - DPG

Dipropylene Glycol - DPG is not only a humectant (as it attracts and absorbs water) but is also a carrier for cosmetic ingredients in fragrances and cosmetics due to its lack of aroma to interfere with the intended scent profile.  It is effective when used as a solvent and coupling agent and can aid stability when freeze/thaw testing is used.
