Dipropylene Glycol - DPG

Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) – Cosmetic & Fragrance Grade

Dipropylene Glycol (DPG) is a versatile, low-odour liquid commonly used in cosmetic formulations and fragrance applications. As a humectant, it attracts and retains moisture, making it a valuable ingredient in skincare products. Its excellent solvent properties and neutral scent make it ideal for carrying fragrance and active ingredients without altering the intended aroma.
